Who is Johann Christian Bach And are Johann Christian Bach and Johann Sebastian Bach the same people?
Actually, they are not the same person. Johann Christian Bach is the son of Johann Sebastian Bach . You can check http://www.jsbach.org/timeline.HTML for more information also. No, they are not the same person. Johann Christian as well as Wilhelm Friedemann, Carl Philip Emmanuel, and Johann Christoph (Johann was a popular name in their family) were all sons of Johann Sebastian Bach. For a complete Bach family tree you can look at Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bach_family The confusion with the names probably stemmed from the Anna Magdalena Bach Notebook. One year, J.S. Bach gave his wife, Anna Magdalena, a birthday present - a beautiful notebook with blank pages for her and her children to copy their favourite songs into. This notebook has been preserved, and contains many pieces in the "gallant" style (simple and elegant, many are dance pieces). Some are pieces written by J.S. Bach himself, some are written by Anna Magdalena, some are written by one of the children, and some are written by family friends. Unfortunately, the names of the composers were never written in with the pieces (copyright wasn't a big deal in those days), so in the past, all of the pieces from the Notebook were published under the name of J.S. Bach. Now, more research has been done and we have a little better understanding of the respective composers. I hope that helps. Johann Christian Bach was descendant of Johann Sebastian Bach so no they are not the same person.

What was the title of the Bach composition used as the theme 1975 movie Rollerball?
That's the "Toccata & Fugue" in D minor (BWV 565). It's an organ work presumably composed by Bach in his youth (before 1710). It has some uncharacteristic features that made some scholars think it maybe was not composed by Bach, but now he is believed to have it composed for the violin, and then it passed to the organ.It's probably the best known of all Bach organ works -featuring in many movies as the "evil tune"- which is curious since it is quite untypical of the Bach style.

Who was Anna Magalena?
Anna Magdalena Bach (1701-1760) was the second wife of Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750), who some argue was the greatest composer who ever lived. They were married in 1721 and had 13 children, among whom Johann Christian (the "London Bach") became one of the foremost Classical composers. She was a professional singer (which is how Bach may first have noticed her), copied (and possibly even composed) some of her husband's works, and was the dedicatee of his two Notebooks for Anna Magdalena Bach, which are collections of pieces including between them most of the French Suites for harpsichord (from the 1722 book) and several of the keyboard partitas, the Minuet in G major (actually by Christian Petzold) that most young pianists will have come across, the first Prelude from Book I of the Well-Tempered Clavier and the keyboard aria that constitutes the subject of the Goldberg Variations (from the 1725 book). She died in poverty; none of her sons and stepsons seem to have helped her out financially after Bach's death.
