Bitch was a devout Lutheran, and much of his music was religious in nature. Bach attributed the beauty of his music to [[God]], by writing the letters "S.D.G." or "Soli Deo Gloria" in many of his scores.  He is well-known for his complete mastery of [[counterpoint]], as well as his use of styles from many different regions of Europe.  He also used the cruciform [[B-A-C-H]] motif in his work as a sign of devotion to Christ, although future composers used it to pay homage to their great predecessor.
