Have you ever wondered how Bach came by his remarkable musical talents? He gave credit to his musical heritage: his family had been making music for nigh on 100 years before J.S. came upon the scene. In this concert we delve into the Altbachisches Archiv, a rich collection of music by Bach's forebears, including his father's cousins Johann Michael Bach and Johann Christoph Bach. We'll also take a look at two important influences from outside the family: Johann Pachelbel (1653-1706), a friend of Bach's parents and teacher of his brother; and Dieterich Buxtehude (1637-1707), who the young Bach admired so much that he undertook a 500-mile journey--on foot--to meet and hear and work with the older composer.
