Johann Ludwig Bach (1677–1731) All works by Johann Ludwig Bach at Carus
The Meiningen Court Kapellmeister Johann Ludwig
Bach (1677–1731) belonged to a branch of the family which had split
away from the principal Wechmar line during the 16th century. His
surviving œuvre is not very extensive. Apart from a collection af
18 cantatas which were preserved by his Leipzig cousin J.S. Bach,
there are a few further cantatas and cantata fragments, a Mass,
a large-scale piece of funeral
music, an orchestral
overture (his only extant orchestral work) and some motets
for six to ten voices. All his works demonstrate the composer?s
solid craftsmanship and inventive gifts. |
