secular and sacred

There are plenty of descendants from the Handel line, but none from the composer himself are known - he never married and died without any recognized heirs.

That isn't to say that there *couldn't* be any - my own father was told as a child that his family was descended from the composer. If Handel did indeed father a child/children out of wedlock, then it was kept very quiet, since there are no official records.

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.

Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) and George Frederic Handel (1685-1759) were popular composers during the very late Baroque and during the early "pre-classical" or Rococo Period (c.1730 to 1760).

He might have died from unhappy consequences of his unsuccessful eye operation, but some say that he might have died from stroke complicated by pneumonia.

Bach is regarded not only as the greatest Baroque composer of all time, but the greatest composer period. His complex usage of polyphonic texture coupled with his highly technically difficult 16 note melodies and agitato and lively rhythms did not just become Bach's style. It became the style associated with ALL of Baroque music. His impact upon music is unprecedented even by the likes of Mozart and Beethoven. His very death marks the end of an entire Era of music.

Bach composed works for both performance and educational purposes. He was the instrumental figure in the progression to equal temperment much through the use of his volumes of works: Well Tempered Clavier which showcased equally spaced semitones. His preludes and fugues are still amongst some of the hardest and most challenging pieces a pianist may attempt to play. Bach wrote many works and only few of them remained unrecognized to the general populace. This amongst other reasons is why Bach is the greatest composer of all time.

Johann Sebastian Bach lived from the 31st March 1685 to the 28th July 1750. Musically, this was during the Baroque period, which ended shortly after he and G. F. Handel died.

Most certainly yes. Many organists play Bach pieces every Sunday during Church services. The cantatas, B Minor Mass, St. Matthew and St. John Passions are standard parts of the choral repertoire. The Brandenberg Concerti continue to be part of the standard orchestral repertoire. "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring" is often played at weddings and the list goes on, including the 2- and 3-Part Inventions and the Well Tempered Clavier, the Italian Concerto all being standard piano pieces, not to mention the Goldberg Variations. And then there are the string pieces.

Church of St. Thomas, Leipzig; his third resting place.

Well of course he would be over 100 years old if your smart, to get the actual age keep on doing research.

Mainly for the church ... in Liepzig, German. Bach composed a weekly Cantata lasting about 20 minutes for the church services. Those cantata's complimented the homily or sermon of the day.

Yes. The descendants of Wilhelm Friedemann Bach immigrated from Ukraine and settled near Stillwater, Oklahoma.

Probably at about 18 years, I am not sure. -- The earliest records seem to indicate music that was written around that age of 18-22, around the time when he started getting work as a composer, but that music is so maturely and thoroughly written it is very likely that he wrote music much earlier - whether any of it survived or not is also a question.

Yes he did. He inspired people like Beethoven and Mozart.

No Bach's sister did not take care of him when his parents died. Bach was an orphan until his older brother took him in.

Favored Homophonic texture.

Yes, Telemann was infact a composer from the Baroque time period, that lasted around

the 1600's to roughly 1750. He was born in 1681 and died in 1767. Gladly, he lived a

longer life than most in this time.

One that is very familiar is "Toccata and Fugue in D minor" which is widely used at Halloween and for horror films.

Other contenders are "Jesu, Joy Of Man's Desiring" and "Air on a G String."

The one piece most people are likely to recognize, even if they don't know the title, is the Toccata and Fugue in d minor, which was famously animated by the Disney Studio in 1939's Fantasia. It has been used as background and incidental music in countless movies.
