Bach, Johann Sebastian, 1685-1750; Composers -- Germany -- Biography
[Footnote 204: [Subsequent to the writing of the above, and during
the progress of general disinterment incidental to the devotion to
other uses of the land occupied by the cemetery, Bach's remains
were found and identified by most scientific methods. In August,
1900, took place the official ceremony of reinterment in a stone
sarcophagus, contained in a crypt constructed for the purpose at
the foot of the chancel steps of the new _Johanniskirche_ (St.
John's Church). Upon this occasion the University _Gesangverein zu
St. Pauli_ sang. September 2d of the same year, at the close of the
weekly "Abend-Motette" (the program on this occasion having been
devoted entirely to works of Bach), the solo-quartet of the church
sang in the crypt the chorale from the St. Matthew Passion _Wenn
ich einmal soll scheiden_, in the presence of a few other reverent
"friends of Bach's music." The following morning the lid of the
sarcophagus was permanently closed and sealed.
By its side, enclosed in a similar receptacle, lie the ashes of
Gellert, the poet.--TR.]]
