EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the quiet reverence of a Bach family morning in the early 18th century. Depicted in the print is Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750), the renowned German composer, at the head of his family, leading them in prayer. The Bach household, located in Leipzig, Germany, was a bustling hub of musical creativity, with Bach serving as the Thomaskantor, or musical director, of the city's Thomaskirche and the director of music at the St. Thomas School. The scene unfolds in the warm, inviting glow of a sunlit room. Bach's wife, Maria Barbara Bach, sits to his right, her hands folded in prayer. Their children, Anna Magdalena, Wilhelm Friedemann, and Carl Philipp Emanuel, gather around the family patriarch, their eyes focused on him as they join in the morning devotions. The presence of musical instruments, including a harpsichord and a viola da gamba, hints at the Bach family's deep connection to music, which was an integral part of their daily lives. The print, created around 1750, offers a glimpse into the private world of one of history's most influential musical figures and his devoted family. It underscores the importance of faith and family in Bach's life, which played a significant role in shaping his groundbreaking compositions and enduring legacy. This poignant image invites us to reflect on the Bach family's daily rituals and the profound impact they had on the world of music and beyond.
