Laugher, Mus. Bac. Bowmanville. IX-BACH AND HANDEL. Bach and Flandel were the greatest musicians of the day. In some respects tbey were simitar to each othar sud in others verymuch differeut. They were lioru in the same year and in the same country. Bachi married twice having 2o chidren boru to him. Handel neyer married. Bachi was born in a family that was said to be the most musical known in history. Handel was boru to a family that was not musical at al. Bacb ne- mained lu Germany and was davoted to home life. Handel îravelled mucli and finahiy made England his home, Both Bach and Handel, in iaten life becante blind. BACH. J. S. Bach was the greatesi represanta- tive of a wonderful family of liusîcians, lie not only bad a long line of musical ancesiors himself, but lie is also said t0 have beau the direct anceston of about 6o well-xnown organists and composers of Germany. In the iowu where the Bach's livad tbey were knowu as th e town musicians. They beld thein family meetings exchangiug musical kuowledga anfd gave musical performances Joban Sebastian Bach was born ai Eisenach Mardi 21, 1685. fie liecame a papil of lis brother, but lie soon ah- sonhed ail of the teachen's knowledge and stili longeid for more. Christopli, the olcler brother, bas been accused of jeal- ousy and kept from J. S the fine collect- ion of manuscript ongan music which lie owued and which ziebastian longed mosi ardeuily îo stuôy. Su great was the hoy's eagarness to possesa the music, thai lie got hold of il by stealtb at nîght and copiad it ail by moonliglht, ouly 10 bave il desîroyed by bis stern eider brother wben discovened. T his copying took 6 mouîhis and the airain on bis eyes -cauüsed, -il is said, tbhave resulted lu the btîndness whïcb came upon bim laien in lite, In 1703 Bach was appoinied Violinîst in tie court Orchestra of Prince johan Ernst cf Weimer. He was appointed organist of the new churcli ai Arnstadt. la, 1706 lie applied for and obtained the position of organist aitie Ciîurcb of St. Blasias ai the sat >ary of $35 a yean togather with certain qusutities of coré, wood and fiali, to lie detivered witbout charge ai bis door, Upon ibis saîary lie was ale to arry. While ai Weimar as Court Organisi 10 the Grand Duke, Bachi becaine not only the finast Organisi of bis time, but the greatesi composer for tle Organ the world bas aven kîîown. In 1717 Bachi accepied the position offered by Prince Leopotd of Anhalt, as conducion and director of bis ciamber music. Wbileata Carlstad, on one of bis 'trips with Prince Leopold, Bacb's wife died very suddenly, no uews could lie goiten to hlm aud on bis returu he -found ber buried.

Ha diad on Juty 25, 1750, ai the age of 65, Bachi was an able performer on strngad instruments and w rotemucli orchestral music, aud as oua wriier says of hlm, "Thai withoui Sebastian Bachi and bis maichiess studies for the piano, Organ aud Orchestra, we coutd not have hid tbe varied musi- cal devalopment in sonata and sym- phony fromtthe. great masters thai fol- lowed". No one man bas lefi so deep a mark on the hisiory of music non lias exarted so siroug aud far reaching ain influence upon the subsequeut davelop- ment of the art as lie.
