Johann Sebastian Bach
1685 - 1750 Person Name: J. S. Bach Harmonizer of "[We wait for the eternal light]" in Songs of Light Johann Sebastian Bach was born at Eisenach into a musical family and in a town steeped in Reformation history, he received early musical training from his father and older brother, and elementary education in the classical school Luther had earlier attended.
Throughout his life he made extraordinary efforts to learn from other musicians. At 15 he walked to Lüneburg to work as a chorister and study at the convent school of St. Michael. From there he walked 30 miles to Hamburg to hear Johann Reinken, and 60 miles to Celle to become familiar with French composition and performance traditions. Once he obtained a month's leave from his job to hear Buxtehude, but stayed nearly four months. He arranged compositions from Vivaldi and other Italian masters. His own compositions spanned almost every musical form then known (Opera was the notable exception).
In his own time, Bach was highly regarded as organist and teacher, his compositions being circulated as models of contrapuntal technique. Four of his children achieved careers as composers; Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Schumann, Brahms, and Chopin are only a few of the best known of the musicians that confessed a major debt to Bach's work in their own musical development. Mendelssohn began re-introducing Bach's music into the concert repertoire, where it has come to attract admiration and even veneration for its own sake.
After 20 years of successful work in several posts, Bach became cantor of the Thomas-schule in Leipzig, and remained there for the remaining 27 years of his life, concentrating on church music for the Lutheran service: over 200 cantatas, four passion settings, a Mass, and hundreds of chorale settings, harmonizations, preludes, and arrangements. He edited the tunes for Schemelli's Musicalisches Gesangbuch, contributing 16 original tunes. His choral harmonizations remain a staple for studies of composition and harmony. Additional melodies from his works have been adapted as hymn tunes.

Kaspar Füger
1562 - 1617 Person Name: C. Fuger Author of "We Christians may" in The Bach Chorale Book Fuger, Caspar. Two Lutheran clergymen of this name, apparently father and son, seem to have lived in Dresden in the 16th century. The elder seems to have been for some time at Torgau, and then court preacher at Dresden to Duke Heinrich and his widow, and to have died at Dresden, 1592. Various works appeared under his name between 1564 and 1592. The younger was apparently born at Dresden, where he became third master and then conrector in the Kreuzschule. He was subsequently ordained diaconus, and died at Dresden, July 24, 1617 (Koch, ii. 215-216; Wetzel, i. 303; Wackernagel, as below, and i. pp. 459, 513, 569).
The hymn,
Wir Christenleut haben jetzund Freud [Christ¬mas], is quoted by Wackernagel, iv. p. 10, from Drey schöne Newe Geistliche Gesenge, 1592, and from the Dresden Gesang-Buch, 1593, in 5 stanzas of 6 lines. Wackernagel thinks it was written about 1552. Bode, p. 417, cites it as in Georg Pondo's Erne kurtze Comödien von der Geburt des Herren Christi extant in a manuscript copy, dated 1589, in the Royal Library at Berlin. It is probably by the elder Fuger, though Wetzel and others ascribe it to the younger. Included in many later hymn-books, and recently as No. 57 in the Unverfälschter Liedersegen, 1851. The only translation in common use is:-—
We Christians may rejoice to-day, a good and full translation by Miss Winkworth in her Chorale Book for England, 1863, No. 34. [Rev. James Mearns, M.A.]
