Johann Sebastian Bach (1685 - 1750) was a German composer, organist, harpsichordist, violist, and violinist whose sacred and secular works for choir, orchestra, and solo instruments drew together the strands of the Baroque period and brought it to its ultimate maturity. He is now generally regarded as one of the main composers of the Baroque style, and as one of the greatest composers of all time.

The four Orchestral Suites or Ouvertures BWV 1066--1069 are a set of compositions by Johann Sebastian Bach. The word overture refers to an opening movement in which a section of slow dotted-note rhythm is followed by a fugue; at the time, this name was also used to refer to a whole suite of dance-pieces in the French baroque style.
