This video tells the story of the life of the famous composer and organist Johann Sebastian Bach in a way that emphasizes his interest in devoting his musical abilities to God. Classical guitarist and Bach musical enthusiast Christopher Parkening provides an interview about the great composer; but most of the video traces J. S. Bach's life from his birth into a very musically talented family in 1685 through the creation of numerous masterpieces during his career. The documentary suggests that his music lives on today, although Bach had fallen into comparative obscurity by the time of his death in 1750.
