If you could bring one person in all of human history back to life as a healthy young adult who would it be?

J.S Bach simply for the fact that he understood music and polyphonic writing on a level that has never even been close to being touched since him. His way of understanding music and composition reaches the utter depths of the supernatural... and he did it all with such emotional density in his pieces. Normally mathematical equations and scientific comprehension in music makes the art of it dry and withered; with Bach he reached (and continues to reach) the sublime. It almost seems effortless when you dive into his music. I just want to ask him how. How in the world did he do this. Some would say based on history and what we know about him, he would owe it all to God. J.S Bach believed music had to honor God as its ultimate purpose. But I want to ask him how he went from honoring God to writing the utter most genius, emotionally dense, thematically packed, mathematically layered music given to man.

But I am a musician and nothing peaks my interest more than the music of J.S Bach. We know very little about him and his life, and in essence that probably has served us better than it would have if we knew everything about him.
