German Baroque composer. Born on April 6th in Geising, Saxony. Studied at the Holy Cross School in Dresden and completed his law studies at the University of Leipzig. In 1684 he became organist at St. Thomas Church in the same city, and in 1701 he succeeded J. Schelle as university music director and Thomas Cantor (chorus master). His clavier sonatas, such as the Biblical Sonata (1700, Leipzig), are historically significant as multi-movement sonatas that transposed the Italian trio sonata to the clavier, and he also wrote many church cantatas. He was fluent in Greek, Latin, and Hebrew, and was active in many ways as a translator of French and Italian, and a skilled lawyer. He died in Leipzig on June 5th, 1722, and the following year, Bach was chosen as his successor as Thomas Cantor.

ドイツ・バロック期の作曲家。4月6日ザクセンのガイジングに生まれる。ドレスデンの聖十字架学校に学び、ライプツィヒ大学で法律を修める。1684年同地の聖トマス教会オルガニストとなったのち、1701年J・シェレの後任として大学音楽監督兼トマス・カントル(合唱長)に就任した。『聖書ソナタ』(1700・ライプツィヒ)に代表されるクラビア・ソナタは、イタリアのトリオ・ソナタをクラビアに移した多楽章ソナタとして歴史的な意味をもち、教会カンタータも多数書いている。ギリシア語、ラテン語、ヘブライ語を解し、フランス語、イタリア語の翻訳家、有能な法律家としても多彩に活躍した。22年6月5日ライプツィヒに没したが、翌年、後任のトマス・カントルには大バッハが選ばれている。 [樋口隆一] 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
