In this second episode, we continue to explore the music of Johann Sebastian Bach and his place as a seminal figure in the canon of western music. We look at some readings that help us focus on Bach as situated between the medieval world view and the emerging realities of individualism and discuss why his music is so influential and what it may have to say to us today.
