Andreas Raselius

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Andreas Raselius (actually Andreas Rasel ; * between 1561 and 1563 in Hahnbach ; † January 6, 1602 in Heidelberg ), also called Andreas Raselius Ambergensis , was a German composer of the Renaissance .

Raselius was the son of a pastor in the (then Protestant) Hahnbach. After his death in 1569 he moved with his mother to Amberg , where he possibly became a student of the composer Mathias Gastritz . He attended the Latin school in Sulzbach and studied in Heidelberg from 1581. From 1584 he was cantor at the Neupfarrkirche in Regensburg , from 1600 Hofkapellmeister in Heidelberg.

He was the composer of numerous sacred musical works ( motets , songs ) and is also considered the author of the six-part motet on the stone Amberg song table (1591). He also wrote music-theoretical writings, but also made a name for himself as a theologian, philosopher and, last but not least, as a chronicler , so in 1598 he published a chronicle of the city of Regensburg.
