	Johann Sebastian Bach - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bach was best known during his lifetime as an organist, organ consultant, and composer of organ works both in the traditional German free genres such as preludes, fantasias, and toccatas, and stricter forms such as chorale preludes and fugues.
		Bach's other large work, the Mass in B minor, was assembled by Bach near the end of his life, mostly from pieces composed earlier (such as Cantata 191 and Cantata 12).
		Johann Sebastian Bach's contributions to music, or, to borrow a term popularised by his student Lorenz Christoph Mizler, "musical science" are frequently compared to the "original geniuses" of William Shakespeare in English literature and Isaac Newton in physics.

		Johann Sebastian Bach was born on March 21, 1685, in Eisenach, a small city in the German region of Thüringen, into a family that over seven generations produced more than 50 prominent musicians.
		Bach’s father, Johann Ambrosius Bach, was town music director and court trumpeter in Eisenach, and his father’s cousin, Johann Christoph, served as court organist.
		As Johann Christoph’s family expanded, it became increasingly difficult to house his younger brother, and consequently at age 15 Bach sought and attained a scholarship to the Saint Michael’s School in Lüneburg in northern Germany.

		At Leipzig, Bach seems to have fit in amongst the professoriate of the university there, with many professors standing as god parents for his children and some of the university's men of letters and theology providing many of the librettos for his cantatas.
		At the same time, Bach dedicated significant energies to writing a complete Mass in B minor, which incorporated what were presumably his favorite movements from earlier works along with new material in a collosal Mass that was, due to its size and length, unfortunately never performed during the composer's lifetime.
