Sebastian Bach

Here are some more information for Sebastian Bach:

Johann Sebastian Bach is widely considered to be a genius of baroque music. Baroque music is a very complex and dramatic style of music that reached a peak in the early 1700's.

Bach liked to use techniques like counterpoint and fugue in his music. Counterpoint being the playing of two or more melodies at one time, and fugue being a composition where different musical instruments repeat the same melody but with some slight variations.

During his life Bach wrote hundreds of compositions. He was a devout Lutheran, and wrote nearly 300 religious and non-religious works called cantatas.

Like a lot of artists, Bach wasn't fully appreciated during his lifetime. Most people considered him a good organist, but few people cared about his compositions. In fact, only about nine or ten of his works were even published during his lifetime. Indeed, most people considered his baroque style simply too elaborate and complicated.

Bach was married twice, and had 20 children with his two wives. Two of his sons followed in the musical footsteps of their father.

One of the wonders of his life is that Bach managed to support such a large family while fulfilling his duties as musician and conductor, and still find time to write the hundreds of compositions that bear his name.

Bach felt that everything man does or believes is religious. He believed that baroque music was a way to help protect people against the advance of doubt brought about by the Renaissance ideas of scientific inquiry. He often wrote I.N.J on his manuscripts for the words In the Name of Jesus.
