  Johann Sebastian Bach - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bach drew the soprano and alto choristers from the School, and the tenors and basses from the School and elsewhere in Leipzig.
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 - Facts, Information, and Encyclopedia Reference article
Johann Sebastian Bach (March 21, 1685 – July 28, 1750) was a German composer and organist whose sacred and secular works for choir, orchestra and keyboard drew together almost all of the strands of the baroque style and brought it to its ultimate maturity.

Although the barriers to women having professional careers were great, all of Bach's daughters most likely sang and possibly played in their father's ensembles; one of his daughters married one of his favorite pupils.
Sebastian and Anna Magdalena also welcomed friends, family, and fellow musicians from all over Germany into their home; court musicians at Dresden and Berlin as well as musicians including George Philipp Telemann (one of Carl Philipp Emanuel's god fathers) made frequent visits to Bach's house and may have kept up frequent correspondence with him.
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.
