Today’s prelude was composed by Johann Christoph Bach (1642-1703), son of Heinrich Bach (J.S. Bach’s great uncle), and uncle of Maria Barbara Bach (J.S. Bach’s first wife). Some of Johann Christoph’s works were originally attributed to J.S. Bach, but recently it has come to light that J.C. Bach was indeed the composer. This morning’s prelude is a fugue--a composition in which each voice enters in turn with the same theme. This is especially complicated to write, because the puzzle must fit together as the voices continue. This morning’s prelude is a small fugue, or a fughette, consisting of only three voices, but is impressive nonetheless.

Today’s postlude was arranged by Diane Bish, one of the most famous organists of our time. She is especially known for her flamboyant style and became popular through her television show, The Joy of Music, which is broadcast to over 300 million people each week. She is originally from Kansas, served as senior organist and artist-in-residence at the Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church in Fort Lauderdale for over 20 years, and now resides in Bloomington, Indiana. If you are interested in learning more about this extraordinary woman, Warren Woodruff’s book Diane Bish: First Lady of the Organ was published in 1993. Her website is www.dianebishtv.com
