Johann Michael Bach was second-uncle and (posthumously) father-in-law of Johann Sebastian Bach, because he was the father of Bach's first wife Maria Barbara. He came (like almost any Bach) from a musical family, his father Heinrich Bach and his brother Johann Christoph Bach were both active organists and composers. He was born in Arnstadt and became the organist and town clerk of Gehren, where he lived until his death.
I recorded a beautiful chorale prelude on the hymn 'Ich ruf zu dir, Herr Jesu Christ', which comes from the so called Neumeister Sammlung/Neumeister Collection.
