Buxtehude

Japanese: ブクステフーデ

Danish organist and composer. His ancestors are said to have been from North Germany, and he was presumably born in Bad Oldesloe (now part of Germany), where his father, the organist, was stationed. After working as an organist in Helsingborg (now part of Sweden) and Helsingör in Denmark, he became the organist at St. Mary's Church in Lübeck in 1668. He held this position for the rest of his life and spread his fame throughout Germany. He is considered the greatest master of the North German organ school, and his organ music had a great influence on JS Bach. His more than 100 sacred vocal pieces also show a variety of forms that connect Schütz's concertos and Bach's cantatas, and occupy an important position in the history of the development of Protestant church music. He also dramatically developed the Abendmusik (evening music) concerts that had become a tradition in the church, and held large-scale public concerts including a choir and orchestra. This unprecedented attempt at the time gained him a reputation throughout Germany. It is well known that in 1705, when Bach was in Arnstadt, he traveled nearly 400km to Lübeck to listen to his performance. → Christian music → Related topics Pachelbel

デンマーク出身のオルガン奏者，作曲家。祖先は北ドイツ出身とされ，オルガン奏者の父の任地バート・オルデスロー（現ドイツ領）に生まれたと推定される。デンマークのヘルシングボリ（現スウェーデン領）とヘルシンエーアでオルガン奏者として活動ののち，1668年リューベックの聖マリア教会のオルガン奏者に就任。終生この地位にあってドイツ各地に名声を広めた。北ドイツ・オルガン楽派最大の巨匠とされ，そのオルガン音楽はJ.S.バッハにも大きな影響を与えた。100曲以上の宗教声楽曲も，シュッツのコンチェルト（協奏曲）とバッハのカンタータをつなぐ多様な形式を示し，プロテスタント教会音楽の発展史に重要な位置を占める。また同教会で慣習化されていた音楽会〈アーベントムジーク（夕べの音楽）〉を飛躍的に発展させ，合唱とオーケストラを含めた大規模な公開演奏会を開催，当時例のないこの試みはドイツ全土で評判を高めた。1705年，アルンシュタット時代のバッハがその演奏を聴くため400km近く離れたリューベックに足を運んだ話は有名。→キリスト教音楽
