Music by Bach's Sons
The most remarkable family in the history of music was undoubtedly that of the Bachs. The earliest record of the Bachs dates from the middle of the sixteenth century, and the last representative, a grandson of Johann Sebastian , died in 1865. Throughout this period-from the age of Luther to that of Bismarck
. almost the entire family practised music. The three greatest Bachs were Johann Sebastian and his two sons, Johann Christian and Carl Philipp Emanuel. His eldest son, however, Friedrich, was also a composer of considerable note, but his work has not the historical significance of that of the other two.

H. E. Piggott
With the sea-songs of the early eighteenth century Mr. Piggott finally leaves the field of the shanty and its kind and is obliged to confine himself to the ballad commemorating contemporary victories. However, some even of these have now become traditional ; the authors are forgotten and the ballads survive as folksongs. A typical example is one of the songs about Admiral Benbow, which Cecil Sharp unearthed in Somerset:
' Come, all you seamen bold, and draw near, and draw near ;
Come, all you seamen bold, and draw near.
It's of an admiral's fame, 0 brave
Benbow was his name,
How he fought all on the main, you shall hear, you shall hear.'
