Father Daughter Musician Bonds
Music: Prelude & Fugue in A minor
Artist: J S Bach
Shared by: Mari for her Father
My Dad was a lifelong church musician. There are many pieces that I associate with him, but the Bach is a standout. I also became an organist and it was this piece that he so loved to play that made me want to play.
“When I want to connect with him, it’s through music.”
I remember hearing it for the first time when I was 11 and he was performing it in a recital. The music of Bach spoke to me in such a profound way that I knew there was no question that I would one day play it myself.
My Dad gave me a lifelong love of music, especially the Baroque era and more specifically Bach.
When I want to connect with memories of him, it is through music. Our bond was forged through our deep love of music; choral and organ in particular.
