Additional info/contents Mr. Hidas loved humour in life as well as in music. This piece is a good example of it. The well-known theme on the name of Johann Sebastian Bach inspired many composers to use it like a melody from the letters of his name. This theme is almost the same, just a little changed. It is B-A-H-B! The music was composed for Dr. Ronald Johnson, conductor of Northern Iowa University, Cedar Falls, Iowa.
