  • Stadtkirche St. Michael Kirche Gehren
    Stadtkirche St. Michael Kirche Gehren Auch Gehren kann in seiner Geschichte auf mehrere Kirchbauten verweisen. Dort, wo heute die Stadtkirche St. Michael steht, befand sich ein Vorgängerbau, dessen erste Erwähnung aus dem Jahre 1521 stammt. Hier war Johann Michael Bach, der Schwiegervater von Johann Sebastian Bach, von 1673 bis 1694 als Organist tätig. Anfang des 18. Jh. wurde diese Kirche zu klein für die ständig wachsende Zahl der Gottesdienstbesucher, da mit dem Ausbau der fürstlichen Verwaltungsstrukturen als „Amt“ Gehren der Ort überregionale 1834 Bedeutung erlangte. Eine 1729 eingeweihte größere Kirche auf dem benachbarten Kirchberg stand allerdings nur 20 Jahre, dann fiel sie einem Brand zum Opfer. So wurde die Kirche am Markt bis 1830 genutzt. Dann riss man sie ab und erbaute an gleicher Stelle im klassizistischen Stil eine Neue. In der „kirchenlosen Zeit“ fanden die Gottesdienste in der Kapelle des Gehrener Schlosses statt. Der Kirchturm der neuen Kirche hatte zunächst eine ebene Plattform. 35 Jahre später erst erhielt er die heutige Spitze mit vier kleinen Ecktürmchen. 1895 wurde eine vom Hof-Orgelbauer Sauer gebaute Orgel installiert. Aus dem gleichen Jahr stammt auch die Kanzel. 1924 schenkte die Fürstin Marie von Schwarzburg- Sondershausen der Kirchgemeinde einige Kunstgegenstände aus der nicht mehr genutzten Schlosskapelle. Diese wurden dadurch kein Opfer der Flammen, die das Schloss 1933 zerstörten. Der etwas streng wirkende Altarraum erhielt in den 1960er Jahren seine heutige Form. In diesem Zusammenhang kam der von der Fürstin Marie gespendete Altar nach Jesuborn. 1917 mussten die drei Bronzeglocken – eine davon fast 450 Jahre alt – zur Einschmelzung abgeführt werden. Heute läuten nun an ihrer Stelle drei Stahlglocken.

The ABS produces Bach Notes and Bach Perspectives, sponsors a biennial meeting and conference, and offers grants and prizes for research on Bach. For more information about the Society, please visit www.americanbachsociety.org. The Westfield Center The Westfield Center was founded in 1979 by Lynn Edwards and Edward Pepe to fill a need for information about keyboard performance practice and instrument building in historical styles. In pursuing its mission to promote the study and appreciation of the organ and other keyboard instruments, the Westfield Center has become a vital public advocate for keyboard instruments and music. By bringing together professionals and an increasingly diverse music audience, the Center has inspired collaborations among organizations nationally and internationally. In 1999 Roger Sherman became Executive Director and developed several new projects for the Westfield Center, including a radio program, The Organ Loft, which is heard by 30,000 listeners in the Pacific 2 Northwest; and a Westfield Concert Scholar program that promotes young keyboard artists with awareness of historical keyboard performance practice through mentorship and concert opportunities. In addition to these programs, the Westfield Center sponsors an annual conference about significant topics in keyboard performance.

  • The Bach Family There Has Never Been a Dynasty Like It! We Have
    The Bach Family There has never been a dynasty like it! We have Johann Sebastian Bach to thank for much of the Genealogy as well. In the region of Thuringia, the name of Bach was synonymous with music, but they were also a 'family' experiencing the ups and downs of 17th & 18th century life, from happy marriages and joyful family music-making in this devoutly Lutheran community to coping with infant mortality and dysfunctional behaviour. The Bach Family encountered the lot. In this page, we visit the lives of key members of this remarkable family, a family that was humble in its intent, served the community, were appropriately deferential to their various patrons or princes, and whose music lives on through our performances today. Joh. Seb. Bach's ancestors set the tone and musical direction, but this particular family member raised the bar higher in scale and invention. Sebastian taught his own sons too, plus many of the offspring of his relatives. His eldest sons Wilhelm Friedemann and Carl Philipp Emanuel certainly held their Father in high regard, but also wanted to plough their own furrow - not easy even then. Others either held church or court positions and one travelled first to Italy and then to Georgian London in order to ply his trade - Johann Christian Bach, the youngest son. The family's ancestry goes back to the late 16th/early 17th centuries to a certain Vitus (Veit) Bach (d.1619) who left his native Hungary and came to live in Wechmar, near Gotha in Thuringia. He was a baker by trade.

  • 1 Early Years, 1685–1703
    Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-13925-1 — Bach Peter Williams Excerpt More Information – 1 Early years, 1685 1703: background, family, studies The Obituary is headed ‘the Honourable Johann Sebastian Bach, world- famous in organ-playing, Royal Polish and Electoral Saxon Court Com- poser and Music Director in Leipzig’, and begins Johann Sebastian Bach belongs to a family in all of whose members equally a love for and skill in music seem, as a common gift, to have been imparted by nature. Emanuel Bach, presumably responsible for these words, was familiar with the outlines of his family’s musical history, since quite apart from any anecdotes about it that circulated in the family, his father had spent time around the age of fifty compiling on paper a selective genealogy. This is the ‘Origin of the musical-Bach family’, Ursprung der musicalisch-Bachischen Familie (Dok. I, pp. 255–61), a Genealogy known to Emanuel in whose household it was later copied: a unique source of information about the family tree and, in the sparseness of other evidence, used ever since in all kinds of connections. This is a document, often since referred to as a ‘table’, into which something can be read about the composer, his interests, his industry, even now and then his opinions.
