Short bio Johann Ernst Eberlin
Full biography Johann Ernst Eberlin
Johann Ernst Eberlin was a German composer and organist born on March 27, 1702 and died on June 19, 1762. He is noted for producing works that bridge the baroque and classical eras. Eberlin was a versatile composer and wrote various vocal and instrumental pieces, although he is chiefly known for his church organ and choral music.
Eberlin was appointed to several important positions throughout his career. In 1749, he was appointed as a Kapellmeister at the Salzburg Court. Prior to this, he had risen through the ranks at the Cathedral and Court in Salzburg. He was considered quite prolific and wrote works with great speed.
Eberlin was a contemporary and friend of Leopold Mozart , the father of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. In fact, Leopold Mozart was a great admirer of Eberlin's work, and his music influenced the younger Mozart.
Today, Eberlin is primarily remembered for his "stile antiquo" composition Christus factus est, which is a beautiful choral work. Despite his contributions to music and his high esteem among his peers, Eberlin remains somewhat forgotten in modern times.
