Item Description
Hand-Carved Trivet featuring Johann Sebastian Bach's Monogram Seal.
"Bach's seal, used throughout his Leipzig years, contains the letters 'J S B' superimposed over their mirror image topped with a crown. The seal itself has become synonymous with the music of Bach, reflecting his artistic style. Like the seal, the beauty of Bach’s music can be appreciated on many levels. A listener’s first impression of Bach’s music is often that is very pleasing. As one listens to it again and again, more and more dimensions of the music reveal themselves. Bach has a nearly infinite sense of inventiveness in his melodies which flow endlessly and effortlessly. Bach’s counterpoint is astonishingly developed – melodies can be played forwards, backwards and simultaneously, and fit together flawlessly. Bach’s use of musical forms is boundless in scope and inventiveness. Fugues, canons, fantasies, preludes, song, freely composed or highly imitative – all display the highest level of excellence - a trait which this seal encompasses."
Crafted by Ellen Heien & John Stimson, the former of whom is an active member of the Bach in Baltimore Choir.
