In 1700, fifteen-year-old Johann Sebastian Bach and his schoolmate Georg Erdmann walked 250 miles from their village of Ohrdruf to the northern-German city of Lüneburg to enroll in the St. Michael's Kirche choir school. While many biographers mention this journey, none describes the details.
Award-winning historical novelist James Y. Bartlett fills this gap with The Song of Asaph.
An ancient song composed by King David's chief musician Asaph, discovered by the Teutonic Crusaders to the Holy Land, returned to Germany, then divided into four fragments and hidden to prevent the Song's performance, which will unleash the fearsome powers of God.
This is the legend the boys pursue on their journey, piecing together one fragment at a time until they find the relentless Black Monk, Absalom, chasing them across Germany, desperate to protect the Song's powerful secrets.
The third novel in Bartlett's Bach Musical Mystery series, The Song of Asaph is an engrossing musical thriller that will appeal to historical mystery and adventure lovers of all ages.
