In the footsteps of Johann Sebastian Bach in Eisenach
As the place where Martin Luther worked and Johann Sebastian Bach was born, Eisenach is the ideal place to intensify the connections between theology and music: An ideal offer for groups of 20 people or more on arrival by private bus.
For Martin Luther, music was a “lady and governor of the human heart”. For the first time in church history, Luther put music and theology on the same level with the “Sing and Say” formula. Luther and Bach spent years of their childhood in Eisenach, went to the same school, and both knew the Church of Georgen. Luther wrote numerous chants that Bach later set to music. Bach is not only the 5th Evangelist, but rather the most famous interpreter of the Bible. He saw music as praising God and as a form of preaching. Bach signed all of his compositions with SOLI DEO GLORIA (Glory to God alone). Meet two central german men who wrote world history and find out what connects them in authentic places.
