Andreas Christoph Clamer

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Andreas Christoph Clamer (* 1633 in Salzburg ; † 1701 ) was an Austrian composer and singer of the Baroque .

Andreas Christoph Clamer was the son of the Salzburg court music director Gaudenz Clamer . From 1682 onwards, Clamer can be proven to have been the director and instructor of the choirboys at Salzburg Cathedral. In the same year he commissioned the Salzburg publisher Johann Baptist Mayr to print a 42-piece sonata collection, the "Mensa harmonica XLII Rarioribus Sonatis" for two violins, viol and basso continuo . They are entertaining sonatas consisting of several dance movements, comparable to the works “Mensa sonora” by Heinrich Ignaz Biber or the “Armonico tributo” by Georg Muffat created by his Salzburg colleagues during the same period .
