'''Bach, Johann Sebastian''' (1685-1750), one of the greatest composers of the Western classical music tradition, was the organist and concert master of the Duke of Weimar. A master of polyphony, much of his music was religious in content, adhering, more specifically, to the [[Protestant]] [[Christian]] faith. Some of his works include the [[Mass]] in B-minor, the [[St. Matthew]] Passion, the Brandenburg concertos, the Well-Tempered Clavier A humble family man and God-fearing citizen of Weimer, Bach attributed the beauty of his music to [[God]], by writing the letters "S.D.G." or "Soli Deo Gloria" in all of his scores. Prolific both in terms of his musical output and his offspring, Bach wrote more than three thousand opus numbers (half of which survive), and had an estimated two dozen children.
