Bach composed a "Christmas Oratorio" and a "Magnificat." There are also several organ works based on Christmas chorales or hymns. I also imagine there are cantatas based on the chorales, but am not very familiar with that literature.

Typically, Bach's cantatas are each based on a chorale tune. In some of them the tune reappears in different guises in each movement, sometimes in a fugue, sometimes as a ground-bass, sometimes as a simple variation. In others it only reappears at the end of the cantata, but the melodies of the other movements are based in some way, either melodically or rhythmically, on the chorale-tune.
1 answer
Yes, it is true that Johann Sebastian Bach composed a vast amount of music during his lifetime. It is estimated that Bach composed over 1,000 works, including cantatas, concertos, orchestral suites, and keyboard music. If one were to copy all of Bach's music by hand, it would indeed take an individual a significant amount of time, likely much longer than 70 years due to the complexity and volume of his compositions.

JS (or Johann Sebastian) Bach. He wrote several Fugues and many Chorales and Cantatas, just to name certain forms, but did not write opera.

He had around 1130 compositions. His cantatas along with his works for voice, organ and harpsichord brings us peace of mind. His Motets were in good taste to all. I think Bach would probably think that his cantata named -Jesus nahm zu sich die Zwölfe- in English -Jesus took the twelve under Him- was his most famous work.
