El gran maestro compositor barroco Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) escribió música para cada combinación de instrumentos y voces. Su trabajo más simple y puro son composiciones y escenarios corales a cuatro partes, tan perfectamente construidos que evocan la espiritualidad meditativa. El “bajo figurado” era un sistema barroco de notación armoniosa. Además de 371 corales, esta colección incluye 69 melodías con bajo figurado. Esta edición clásica de Schirmer, editada por Albert Riemenschneider, ha vendido más de 1.000.000 de copias desde su lanzamiento a principios del siglo XX. Principalmente para teclado, los corales también se pueden tocar con otros instrumentos.
