What did Johann Sebastian bach do for a living?
His first few jobs (Arnstadt, Mühlhausen, Weimar) were as a church organist; he composed some for these, but playing was his main responsibility. In Cöthen and then in Leipzig, though a lot of his job was to write new music, he was also responsible for rehearsing the music and directing the performances. In Leipzig he had to teach music classes in the church school as well, and even taught Latin. Also, he taught private music lessons for much of his life. I don't know if he worked at any other trade or profession outside of these.

Where did Johann Strauss live and in what country?

What were some of bachs songs?
Bach wrote quite a lot of songs, here is a list of all of them:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_songs_and_arias_of_Johann_Sebastian_Bach
If you are looking for the most famous movements in his composition, I would probably say Air (from BWV 1068), Toccata in D Minor (from BWV 565), Jesu Bleibet Meine Freude (from BWV 147) and Minuet in G (BWV Anh. 115). As for his most famous whole compositions, probably the Mass in B Minor (BWV 232), the St. Matthew's Passion (BWV 244), the Brandenburg Concerti (BWV 1046-1051), the Goldberg Variations (BWV 988), and several cantatas (like 140, 147, 8, 211 and 106).
Bach's works are so vast that giving you a mere five tracks seems to be unfair to the essence of the composer. Start with some discs of "The Best of Bach" or similar titles, and slowly work your way through the works of this amazing composer. I just gave you small taste here.

Who was the original composer of the first noel?
It is not known who originated The First Noel; it was first written down in the William Sandy and Davies Gilbert book: "Gilbert and Sandys Christmas Carols" published in 1933; but was not written by either Sandy or Gilbert. It is believed to be a folk carol of much earlier origin.
No ... he was an Austrian.
Ignore the answer above. The person clearly doesn't understand that political ideology and nationality have no relation.
It isn't really possibly to describe WA Mozart as a 'Communist', because the idea of Communism hadn't been founded yet. The Communist Manifesto, which really marks the major beginning of Communist thought, was published in 1848; Mozart died in 1791. And since Mozart was a musician and not a political theorist, he (at least to our knowledge today) did not expound any of the specific ideas which would later go on to make up the Communist school. However, we can gauge certain aspects of Mozart's political leanings from letters and other pieces of evidence he left behind. Most scholars have come to the conclusion that Mozart's political leanings can best be described as 'radical', which for today's standards corresponds to Liberal. However, there is much speculation involved in assessing his politics and unless more revealing evidence is discovered in the future it is likely we will never be certain of what his exact views were.
