Johann Sebastian Bach is a towering cultural icon, a composer who
might be seen as the poster boy for “serious music” and spent
most of his career in the service of the church. But he played
many roles in the course of his life, and could be funny, sassy,
conniving, obstinate, and rebellious. Donald Macleod dives into
Bach's secular music, and follows his trail as he makes his way
in the world, from courts to coffee houses, building a family,
two-timing his bosses, and even a stint behind bars.
