Luther, Gerhardt, and Kingo
By Benjamin Faugstad, Associate Professor of Music

Have you ever heard of “The Three B’s of Classical Music” – Bach, Beethoven, and Brahms? These three composers represent a span of 250 years, encompassing the Baroque, Classical, and Romantic music periods, respectively. Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) created incredible works, such as his Brandenburg Concertos, St. Matthew Passion, The Well-Tempered Clavier, and Cello Suites, to name a few.
