Clamor Heinrich Abel (also: Heinrich Abell , * 1634 in Burg Hünnefeld near Bad Essen / Westphalia , † July 25, 1696 in Bremen ) was a German organist , gambist , composer and violonist .

Live and act

Clamor Heinrich Abel was the son of Ernst Abel (l), who made music in the Hanoverian court orchestra in the midst of the Thirty Years' War from 1637 to 1641, and was a member of a family of musicians who were famous in northern and central Germany in the 17th and 18th centuries: he is the father of the gambist and violonist Christian Ferdinand Abel and grandfather of the viol virtuoso and composer Carl Friedrich Abel and Leopold August Abels . His grandfather Heinrich Othmar Abel (around 1580 – after 1630) worked at Hünnefeld Castle from 1630 . His employer there was Clamor Eberhard von dem Bussche (1611–1666). The first name Clamor was a characteristic and common first name for Herren von dem Bussche for many generations. Therefore the name combination Clamor Heinrich from the first names of the grandfather and his employer is quite understandable.

Abel married Magdalene Herbof around 1685 .

Career
Clamor Heinrich Abel (l) can be from 1662 to 1664 as a court musician and organist in Celle detected.

From 1665 to 1685 Abel worked as a ducal chamber musician in Hanover .

After Abel "presumably returned to Celle after 1685", he played from 1694 as "Obermusicus" in Bremen.
