• Answer:

  ... Okay here goes ... memorized this all from Music Theory History 3 XD JS Bach was a Baroque composer and he is basically the fundaments of music. He was a church organist who was religious and beleived strongly in god. His works were as he said "In the glory of god". His first church appointment was at the age of 18. He moved to Weimar and married his cousin. In weimar, he worked for the Duke of Weimar from 1708-1717 where he became a organ virutoso (Very talented and famous player). The next composing period for him was in Anhalt-Cothen (1717-1723). During this time period, he prospered under the patronage of Prince Leopold. The prince favoured Chamber Music, which Bach wrote. His wife died, and he remarried to the singer Anna Magdalena. In total, He had 20 children, in which 10 survived. For the rest of his life he stayed in Leipzig, from 1724 to when he died in 1750. He was appointed to teaching in a church here. He taught choir, and was the music director. Though the pay wasn't very good, he composed the most in this period of his life. He died of a stroke.
