Georg Christoph Bach

Georg Christoph Bach (6 September 1642 – 27 April 1697) was a German composer.

He was trained in music in Arnstadt and attended the Casimirianum in Coburg and later Leipzig University.

[1] His most well known work is Siehe, wie fein und lieblich ist es for two tenors, bass, violin, three gambas and continuo.

[1][2] Four of his chorale cantatas are extant, on the hymns "Vom Himmel hoch, da komm ich her", "O wie selig seid ihr doch, ihr Frommen", "O Haupt voll Blut und Wunden", and "Meinen Jesum laß ich nicht".

A Schweinfurt inventory of 1689 lists three other vocal works: Gott ist unsere Zuversicht, Wie lieblich sind auf den Bergen and Wohl her, lasset uns wohl leben.
