Johann or Johannes Bach (bapt. 26 November [O.S.] 1604 – buried 13 May 1673) was a German composer and musician. [English language Wikipedia and Baker's Biographical Dictionary of Musicians (8th ed.) give his birth as 26 November, while German Wikipedia gives this as his baptismal date and clarifies that this is the Julian Calendar date, while the Gregorian date is 6 December.]
Existential Questions
His most often performed work is his motet "Unser Leben ist ein Schatten" [Our Life is a Shadow] – translated from de.wikipedia
Johannes Bach is now forgotten.
Did he think that life was rotten?
Perhaps an answer could be sought in
“Unser Leben ist ein Schatten”.
But if our life is but a shadow,
Does it matter, good or bad?... Ohhh!
