On the eve of the
most important event in the history of Western music – the unveiling of a
remarkable pipe organ invented by Bach but not built until now – an experimental
Composer is kidnapped by a mysterious and ancient organization calling itself
the S.M.W. The Composer’s husband – the Organist who
will be the first to play the Bach Memorial Organ – is faced with the bizarre
conditions for her release: to solve “The Fugue Code” before the next night’s
concert.
As the mystery
deepens, a quartet of Bach experts – the Organist, a Musicologist, a Conductor
and a Singer – find themselves reluctantly drawn together by a strange plot
involving Bach Fugues, cryptic riddles, Bach’s history-shunned second wife Anna
Magdalena, and an increasingly bizarre organ...
Can they solve THE FUGUE CODE before the last note of the Well-Tempered Clavier????
Along the way other characters join the counterpoint, including a rough-and-tumble Organ Builder, the cloying Dean of Arts, the self-righteous Bishop and the President of the Ladies Auxiliary Committee for the Classic Music.
Equal parts funny and thrilling, The Fugue Code is fast-paced 60-minutes that draws out all the stops, twisting and turning like a Bach fugue and culminating in an explosive showdown in the world’s largest Gothic Cathedral...
It’s edge-of-your-seat musicology!
