Full biography Andreas Hammerschmidt
Andreas Hammerschmidt (1611/12-1675) was a German Bohemian composer and organist of the early to middle Baroque period. He is often referred to as the "Orpheus of Zittau". Hammerschmidt was born in Brx (now Most), Bohemia, and died in Zittau, Saxony.
Hammerschmidt is considered one of the most representative composers of mid-seventeenth century German church music , and his works are an important source of music used in the Lutheran service of worship. He composed mainly sacred vocal music, including motets, chorales, and cantatas. His music is characterized by its rich harmonies, expressive melodies, and intricate counterpoint.
Some of Hammerschmidt's well-known works include "Freuet euch, ihr Christen alle" and "Machet die Tore weit". He is also known for his Christmas oratorio, which features works by Hammerschmidt as well as other German composers of the 17th century.
Despite his significant contributions to Baroque music , Hammerschmidt's works are relatively lesser known than those of his contemporaries, such as Heinrich Schutz and Johann Sebastian Bach. However, his music continues to be performed and admired by music enthusiasts and scholars alike.
