	Bach family - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The family genealogy, drawn up by Johann Sebastian Bach himself and completed by his son Carl Philipp Emanuel, describes Veit, a baker and a miller, as the founder of the family, "whose zither must have sounded very pretty among the clattering of the mill-wheels".
		Of Hans's large family the second son, Christoph, was the father of Johann Ambrosius who was, himself, the father of Johann Sebastian.
		Sebastian Bach thus inherited the artistic tradition of a united family whose circumstances had deprived them of the distractions of the century of musical fermentation which in the rest of Europe had destroyed polyphonic music.

	Johann Sebastian Bach: a detailed informative biography
		Johann Sebastian Bach was born on March 21st l685, the son of Johann Ambrosius, court trumpeter for the Duke of Eisenach and director of the musicians of the town of Eisenach in Thuringia.
		Bach did not attempt to justify himself before what must have seemed to him a group of narrow minded and conservative old gentlemen; yet the Council, knowing how skilled his playing was, decided to treat their young and impetuous organist with leniency.
		Bach then became a member (after some persuasion) of the Mitzler society, a learned society devoted to the promotion of musical science, whose members were expected on joining to display some token of their learning.

		Bach was the second-highest-paid employee of the court, a sign that he was held in very high esteem.

	Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750)
		Synonymous with musicians, the Bach family had developed a reputation for its many notable performers for more than two centuries when Johann Sebastian Bach was born in Eisenach on March 21, 1685, as the eighth and youngest child of musician parents.
		The Bach family trade was simply that of being musicians, and as a group, they had a rich musical lineage that extended far beyond the Eisenach branch of the family.
		Bach's musical genius manifested itself in many ways, but most particularly in his perfection of the fugue as both an instrumental and choral form, producing sublime music that was imbued with a balance of technical mastery and intellectual control.

	Bach Family
		Bach also has genealogical interest as being the youngest son of old parents, a situation long thought to predispose to high intellect unless foetal abnormalities occur.His mother Elisabeth was about 41 when Bach was born; father Ambrosius of the same order, around 40.
		Catherine Bach the actress perhaps could trace her lineage back to the family of J,S. The main problem with lineage geneology in western society is that is based on paternal geneology and not on maternal.
		CPE Bach's importance as a composer of keyboard and chamber music has long been recognized and respected by musicologists; he is regarded today [1965] as the essential pathfinder for the masters of the classical period.

	J. S. Bach: Orthodox Lutheran Theologian?
		Bach was always part of the sounds of my life; however, it took an honors class in my senior year of college to start me thinking about his theology.
		Johann Sebastian Bach was born in Eisenach, Thuringia in 1685.
		While still living with Christoph in Ohrdruf, Bach had his "first experience with Pietism."[6] Ohrdruf was a Pietist stronghold, but the school authorities had taken their oaths to the Orthodox formulations, and thus the community was split.

	Johann Sebastian Bach
		Bach's enthusiasm for Buxtehude caused him to outstay his leave by three months, and this, together with his habit of astonishing the congregation by the way he harmonized the chorales got him into trouble.
		Bach had to play on the numerous newly invented pianofortes of Silbermann which the king had bought, and also to try the organs of the churches of Potsdam.
		The rediscovery of Bach is closely connected with the name of Mendelssohn, who was amongst the first to proclaim by word and deed the powers of a genius too gigantic to be grasped by three generations.

	P.D.Q. Bach Bio
		In the 17th and 18th centuries the name Bach was synonymous with fine musicmaking: Johann Sebastian, certainly the biggest twig on the family tree, was both preceded and followed by many accomplished and well known musicians, some of whom were in the service of royalty.
		It is easy to understand, therefore, why the Bach clan was loath to admit the existence of a member who was called a “pimple on the face of music,” “the worst musician ever to have trod organ pedals,” “the most dangerous musician since Nero,” and other things not quite so complimentary.
		Although P.D.Q. Bach was born on April 1, 1742 and died on May 5, 1807, the dates on his first tombstone (before he was moved to an unmarked pauper’s grave) were inscribed “1807-1742” in a transparent attempt to make it appear that he could not have been the son of J.S., who died in 1750.

		Undoubtedly the child of Bach who made the most of both the advantages and the handicaps of being a son of Sebastian was Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach (1714-88).
		Emanuel Bach became so well known throughout Europe that he was often referred to as the Hamburg Bach (to distinguish him from his brother the London Bach--Johann Christian, who was now music master to the Queen of England).
		J.S. Bach’s works have appeared in the monumental Bach-Gesellschaft edition (1851-99) and the Neue Bach-Ausgabe (1954- ), while Mozart’s music was collected in Breitkopf und Härtel’s Wolfgang Amadeus Mozarts Werke, Kritisch durchgesehene Gesammtausgabe (1877-83, supplements to 1910), now known as the Alte Mozart-Ausgabe to distinguish it from its successor, the Neue Mozart-Ausgabe (1955-).

		It is a shame that this family tree is not included in the disappointing booklet notes — due to re-marriages and cousins with similar names, Bach genealogy is not a simple matter for the uninitiated.
		The most senior family member represented on the disc is Heinrich Bach (1615–1692), the grandfather of Maria Barbara Bach (Johann Sebastian's second cousin and first wife); the "Signr.
		The close relationship between the cousins is underlined by Johann Sebastian's use of 18 of Johann Ludwig's cantatas at Leipzig in 1726.

	The BACH-BAUGH Family
		It is the thesis of this paper that all of the Baughs in Pulaski County, KY are members of a single family, and are descended from Bartholomaeus "Bartle" BACH who was born around 1684 and lived in Eggenstein, Baden, Germany before coming to Philadelphia aboard the Friendship in 1738.
		There is circumstantial evidence that this George did move down to Wythe along with the rest of the family, and that it is he in the local church records in the 1790's with wife Katharine.
		It is possible that the Baugh families on the 1850 census of Russell Co. VA are Michael's descendants, since there is an elderly woman named Catharine Baugh with the Ray family, not far from the household of Absolem Baugh (b.
