Johann Ludwig Bach
| -1731The 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. Personal details
