Of course, you can say that almost every music today is somehow
influenced by Bach. However, I am more specifically looking for music
where that influence is direct and clear to the listener.
For example, pieces using famous motifs (Badinerie from the suite in b
minor, the the Toccata and Fugue in d minor), pieces written in the
typical "Bach style", or pieces that clearly build upon a specific
work from Bach.
And example in the last category would be "Bleib bei uns, denn es will
Abend werden" from Rheinberger, a romantic and lyrical choral that is
clearly based on Bach's cantata of the same name (although I'm no
musicologist, and can't prove the relation - it's so obvious!)
Other examples are "Tribute to Bach" by Robert Wells or "Air en dub"
by Saint Private.
