Johann Ludwig Bach

Johann Ludwig Bach (14 February [O.S. 4 February] 1677 – 1 May 1731) was a German composer and violinist.

Johann Ludwig Bach.

He was born in Thal (Ruhla) near Eisenach. At the age of 22 he moved to Meiningen eventually being appointed cantor there, and later Kapellmeister. He wrote a large amount of music and regularly oversaw performances, both at Meiningen and neighbouring courts.

He was a third cousin of Johann Sebastian Bach, who made copies of several of his cantatas and performed them at Leipzig. The cantata Denn du wirst meine Seele nicht in der Hölle lassen, BWV 15, once thought to be by Johann Sebastian, and listed as BWV 15 in Wolfgang Schmieder's catalogue of his works, is now thought to be by Johann Ludwig.

Bach died in Meiningen.

The text of the Gloria is partly in German: it intersperses the Latin text of the Gloria with, as cantus firmus, all four stanzas of "Allein Gott in der Höh sei Ehr" (which is itself a paraphrase of the Gloria), a Lutheran hymn by Nicolaus Decius and Joachim Slüter.

Compositions that are sometimes attributed to Johann Ludwig Bach:

• BWV Anh. 25 – Kyrie–Gloria Mass in C major, copied & performed by J. S. Bach c.1740–1742.^[63]
• BWV Anh. 167 – Kyrie–Gloria Mass for double choir in G major, according to 21st-century scholarship attributable to Christoph Bernhard, Johann Philipp Krieger or David Pohle.^[64][65] Older scholarship attributed the mass to Antonio Lotti^[66][67] or Johann Ludwig Bach,^[2][68] after it had been considered Johann Sebastian Bach's up to the middle of the 19th century.^{[69][70][71][72]}
