Guess who's Bach!

Still a-packin', but a short news article that caught my attention:


JS Bach: The Lost Episode

This researcher (I think he was working toward his Bach-alaureate degree) finds a previously unknown piece by Johann Sebastian Bach while sifing through some library documents. As a musician of sorts, I find this fascinating and mildly amusing. It's the first new release by Bach in more than 30 years... the first new song released during my lifetime. For a modern musical group, waiting 30 years between albums is completely ludicrous. I'd imagine that Herr Bach deserves some slack in this matter, as he's been dead for more than 250 years. Really, it's an amazing feat for someone who is so thoroughly dead. Bravo.
