St Matthew Passion composer (4)

I believe the answer is:

bach

(Other definitions for bach that I've seen before include "German composer (affectionate to a Welshman?)" , "musical great" , "endearing Welsh appellation" , "German baroque composer, d. 1750" , "Welsh term of endearment" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
