| Introduction | In 1708 Bach declared his ultimate purpose in life was to create "well-regulated church music to the glory of God." "The aim and final reason of all music was none else but the glory of God." Bach initialed his blank manuscripts before he began to compose with "J.J." (Jesu Juva--"Help me, Jesus!) or "I.N.J." (In Nomine Jesu--"In the name of Jesus"). When the manuscipt was done, he initialed "S.D.G." (Soli Deo Gloria--"To God alone, the glory") |
