Harpsichordist and Composer
About Johann Bernhard Bach
In 1726, while serving as organist at St. Mary’s Church in Mühlhausen, I compiled a manuscript now known as the 'Mühlhausen Tablature', a rare, hand-copied collection of keyboard works that preserves not only my own preludes and fugues but also transcriptions of Buxtehude and Pachelbel, annotated with fingering and ornamentation instructions meant for practical liturgical use. Unlike my more famous relatives, I never held a court position nor published printed editions; my legacy lives in these intimate, functional manuscripts, tools for worship, not showpieces for patrons. My sacred music avoids rhetorical grandeur in favor of structural clarity and harmonic warmth, designed to support congregational singing without overshadowing it. The harpsichord was never just an instrument to me, it was a bridge between theological intention and human breath, its plucked strings echoing the precision of Lutheran doctrine and the tenderness of devotional practice. You’ll hear no virtuosic flourishes here, only purposeful voice-leading, careful suspensions, and cadences that settle like candlelight on stone.
