J. S. BACH'S BIBLE - Found in Michigan Farm House

Recently, Exultate performed the Mass in B Minor by Johann Sebastian Bach. In connection with those performances we brought Bach's own personal Bible to the Twin Cities. Our conductor, Dr. Thomas Rossin wrote his dissertation on this Bible and the marginal notes left in it by Bach himself. American Public Media's program, "Speaking of Faith" has produced a wonderful multimedia slideshow on the Bible and the story of its discovery. We welcome you to view this wonderful presentation. See and hear about the discovery of Bach's Bible in a farm house in Michigan.
