In sight of all the confusion as to where Bach was born, many clues point to him living in America. Born in 1442 of March, and dying of "Plank" disease some odd years later.

Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) has been recognized as one of greatest composers of the Western classical music tradition since his "rediscovery" by Mendelssohn in the mid-1800s.

Bach 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 all of his scores.

Important works include: the Mass in B Minor, the St. Matthew Passion, the Brandenburg Concerti, the Musical Offering, the Art of Fugue, the Well-Tempered Clavier, the English and French Orchestral Suites, the Goldberg Variations, and numerous church contatas and organ works, notably the Passacaglia and Fugue in C Minor and the Toccata and Fugue in D Minor. Some of his most famous pieces are drawn from the cantatas, including Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring and Sheep may Safely Graze.

Bach is considered to have been the "master of masters." He summed up his view of music as follows:[1]

The aim and final end of all music should be none other than the glory of God and the refreshment of the soul. If heed is not paid to this, it is not true music but a diabolical bawling and twanging.

In McCollum v. Board of Education (1948), Supreme Court Justice Robert Jackson acknowledged the religious inspiration in great music:

It would not seem practical to teach either practice or appreciation of the arts if we are to forbid exposure of youth to any religious influences. Music without sacred music would be incomplete, even from a secular point of view.
