There were several composers named Bach, as Johann Sebastian Bach had many children, some of whom became composers in their own right. JS Bach himself was a composer of Baroque music. He composed in a variety of genres, particularly sacred and choral music. He wrote Cantatas, Masses and Magnificats, Chorales and Oratorios, and much sacred choral music. His most famous works include the Brandenburg Concertos, The Well-Tempered Clavier (a collection of 48 preludes and fugues), Toccata and Fugue in D Minor, Mass in B Minor and the St Matthew Passion.
