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.

Did Johann Sebastian Bach believe in god?

Bach was a Christian by religion. He spent much of his working life as Kapelmeister (Musical director) in churches in Germany. The denomination of Christianity prevalent in Germany is Lutheranism - a Christian Protestant Church founded by Martin Luther who was instrumental in separating the church in Germany from Rome as, in those days the Roman Catholic Church was corrupt. So Bach was a Lutheran. He arranged many Lutheran hymns (called Chorales) for organ, and provided what we now know as his 'Chorale preludes' - many of which are regarded now as short masterpieces for the organ.


What did Johann Sebastian Bach sound like?

Sebastian Bach is 6'3 (191 cm) I think you have the wrong Sebastian Bach. You are quoting the height of the contemporary Canadian Sebastian Bierk (changed name to Bach). JS Bach would have been shorter. Johann Sebastian Bach's height as recorded by Professor Wilhelm His Professor of Anatomy at the University Of Leipzig who exhumed the grave in 1894 and measured the skeleton was 166.8 cm or 5 feet, 5. 7 inches. Now Bach being an elderly man, he may have lost height with age, so 5 feet 7.5 inches, may also be considered . Google ' The Exhumation 1894 '.
