BACH...Chorale Style ????

To get a good understanding of 4 part harmonies in bach choral style just google bach choral exercises. If you do enough digging you will find plenty of homework pages for analyzing bach's work and writing figured bass/soprano lines and eventually 4 part choral harmony.
Your question is very broad. Noone can explain how to compose since it must come from inside you. but to understand basic harmony you should learn piano progressions in its simplest form. Search Pop Progressions On Piano.

Hope this helps!
