Extended data

Bach left home alone at the age of fifteen and embarked on the road of independent life. With his beautiful singing voice and excellent playing skills of the clavichord, violin and organ, he was admitted to the choir affiliated to St. Michel's Church in Lombard and also entered the God School. The library here is rich in classical music works, in which Bach fully absorbed and integrated the artistic achievements of various European schools and broadened his musical horizons.

Among Bach's vocal works, oratorios are the most colorful. Bach's oratorios, on the one hand, inherited the secular tradition of "Conluta" approaching opera, on the other hand, inherited the tradition of religious oratorios approaching polyphonic chorus, and created a new type of oratorios with integrated vocal and instrumental music.
