My inspiration for the challenge was an article I once read about a composer who, in appreciation for a party hostess, sent her a letter spelling out BEEF and CABBAGE in musical notes when he could not recall the menu. Several sources say he wrote her a song but I found the original article where it was mentioned and it that says he just wrote a letter. I had to go back and see who it was and it ended up being Irish composer John Field (1782-1837). Wikipedia doesn't mention it at all so it's kind of a mystery if he ever did this, but I always thought it was neat you could use musical notation to spell out those words.

Didn't Bach put his own name in a lot of his works? I can't remember how it worked with the 'h' and zee German.

In parts of Europe, B is written as H and B♭ is written as B. This makes the sequence of notes Bach used B♭ A C B, which in this European variant of notation would be B A C H.
