I got the idea to this composition when playing Bach?s small Preludium in C several times on weddings. Could this Bach music be some kind of accompaniment, like in Bach-Gounaud "Ave Maria"? I wonder if mr Johan Sebastian himself had liked this?

Bach (Krebs) Would Have Liked This

The authenticity of this Prelude - part of the Eight Little Preludes & Fugues - is uncertain. It is suggested that J. L. Krebs, a pupil of Bach at Leipzig, wrote it. Nevertheless, whoever the composer, I think he would have liked what you have done to it. The choir addition is beautiful, well-written & easy to sing.

Your 2-bar introduction sufficiently anticipates and blends with the general style of the work.

Just a few things: Why not maintain the left-hand semiquaver note progression in bar 2 right through until the end of this bar? The quaver d can be changed to a semiquaver & the "missing" semiquaver g added after the d. There is probably a mistake in bar 8, bass part; the g should be an f#. In bar 28 (choir part), the last chord is egb. You have omitted the b and have unnecessarily doubled your third (g) of the chord. The fact that the b is contained in the organ part does not make up for the missing b in the choir part.
