Music
Johann Sebastian Bach-
Bach lived from 1685-1750 in Germany. His
contributions, in the Baroque era, were his ability to be an organist and a
composer during his lifetime. I chose Bach because I like his style of music
and the way his hair looked all curly.

In 1498, Skelton was consecutively ordained sub deacon, deacon, and priest of
the Abbey of St. Mary Grace. He was advanced to the title of 'poet laureate' (a
higher degree in rhetoric) at Oxford
