Clemens Thieme (composer)
Clemens Thieme (born September 7, 1631 in Großdittmannsdorf near Dresden , † March 27, 1668 in Zeitz ) was a German baroque composer.
Life
Clemens Thieme learned the basics of music at a young age from the theorbist and tenorist Philipp Stolle (1614–1675) in Dresden. In September 1642, at the age of 11, he accompanied Heinrich Schütz and Matthias Weckmann as a chapel boy to Copenhagen. After the onset of his voice breaking, he returned to Dresden, where he received lessons on various instruments at the expense of the elector. In 1651 he became an instrumentalist in the Electoral Saxon Chapel, where he was instructed in composition by the vice-conductor Christoph Bernhard . In 1659 he married the pharmacist's daughter Emilie Jockawort, with whom he had three sons and three daughters.
After trying in vain for a job in Hamburg in 1663, he was appointed head instrument master through Heinrich Schütz, and later as concert master in the newly founded court orchestra of Moritz von Sachsen at the court in Zeitz. He died here in 1668.
