Johann Philipp Krieger was a German composer known for his Baroque music, and especially for his church cantatas, fugues, and keyboard suites. He was born in 1649 in Nuremberg and studied music at Nuremberg and Copenhagen. Krieger was appointed court composer to the Duke of Sachsen Eisenberg in 1677 and later became the court conductor in Bayreuth in 1696. He composed a great deal of music, including 18 operas, numerous chamber music pieces, and an immense amount of sacred music.
Krieger's music is characterized by his use of polyphony , counterpoint, and complex harmonies. He was also known for his use of chromaticism, which was unusual in his time. His music was highly regarded during his lifetime, and he was considered one of the most outstanding composers of his time.
Not to be confused with his younger brother Johann Krieger , Johann Philipp Krieger's works include numerous keyboard suites, sonatas, cantatas and sacred vocal music. He remained active as a composer throughout his life, passing away on February 7th, 1725 in Bayreuth, Germany. Today, Krieger is remembered as one of the most significant German composers of the Baroque era.
