Bach acquires an antique biplane (in this book a Fleet Biplane and in "Biplane" a Parks-Detroiter Biplane) and spends a summer in the early 1960's flying passengers throughout the mid-west, sleeping under the wing, eating questionable food, and meeting people who, in many cases remember the golden days of flight.
Bach wanted to re-create the majic and romance of these eariler aviators, share with them the joy of introducing flight to the every-day people who make up the back-bone of the great mid west.
Bach cared little, as did the majority of the early aviators, of the rigid regulations imposed upon the early aviators by the Federal Government.

 Symposia presnted by the Tureck Bach Research Foundation
What is also striking is the fact that Bach studies have only obliquely been affected: there are a few studies uncovering political, social or gender issues in Bach but the majority of studies departing from the objectivist model of the 1950s and 60s represent a return to earlier hermeneutic and biographical approaches.
Bach scholarship might well be able to reposition itself at the heart of musical thought if we can think again about what this music does for us today and how it can make a real contribution to the quality of our lives.
Bach has been a particular focus of attention for this enterprise, not least because of the large array of mutually comparable works (ie fugues, chorales, etc) but also because of his very consistent and distinctive style.

 Classical Net - Bach Cantatas - Listener's Guide
The cantatas of J. Bach form an exceptional body of work that, for various reasons, seem not to be as well known by the listening public as the venerated status of their composer suggests they should be.
One reason may be that their original function and context, either as sacred or secular celebration, does not fit well with modern concert practice and so exposure to all but a handful of them is rare.
