Can any composer equal Bach?Samenleving Bach’s influence on jazz, soul, hip hop and pretty much any 20th Century musical genre you could care to name is inestimable. Sometimes this is very obvious, as in the hip-hop outfit Sweetbox’s songEverything’s Gonna Be Alright, which directly samples Bach’s Orchestral Suite No 3; sometimes it’s a little more oblique, as in the Swedish death metal band Dismember’s apparent appropriation of Bach’s Komm, Süsser Tod in their song Life, Another Shape of Sorrow.
