I love songs that have lyrics that tell a story. Paul Simon. Leonard Cohen (although his lyrics are more symbolic poetry), Eric Clapton, etc. But I've always wondered if any of the classical composers ever thought of putting words to their beautiful music. I know Mozart wrote simple songs for his wife to play so they could "share" music together. I think words might have "changed" their music...but not sure. Words might have "cheapened" the sound of the maestros??
Several of the classic composers including Mozart wrote operas which would have words. I don't know if they wrote the music for others to add the words or if they did themselves. To your point though, I like modern artists that write in story form like Simon, Cohen, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Jewel, James Taylor, and maybe the best of all, the late Harry Chapin. Jimmy Buffett has written some pretty good story songs as well. I think modern country is so popular because much of those songs are written in story form. If you want to hear a really good story by a group you might not consider, listen to Thoroughfare Gap by Crosby Stills and Nash. I really like the end where it says it's not the destination but the ride.

Reading some of these comments just shows, how little are people interested in a good music.
It shouldn't be too demanding - even for simple folks?
In order to be able to read, you need to learn reading and read.
In order to to enjoy the music, you need to listen - and listen even more.
Music will get you there.

Not exactly like Bach, but quite a few during the Baroque period wrote compositions with similar styles. Vivaldi, Handel, Albinoni, to name a few.
Here's sample. (above attached file)

Not quite the same as Bach, but I've enjoyed Handel's "Water Music."
