David Funck (composer)
David Funck (born January 8, 1648 in Sankt Joachimsthal , † January 1, 1701 in Ilmenau ) was a Bohemian composer and musician.
Life
David Funck was the son of the father of the same name (1615–1669), who was cantor in Sankt Joachimsthal in the 1640s, then in Reichenbach. In 1672 and 1673 there is evidence of David Funck at the University of Jena, where he studied law and devoted himself to music and poetry. Funck had an excellent reputation as a violinist, gambist and clavichord player. In 1674 Funck got a job as a secretary with the widowed Princess Eleonore von Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Norburg in Norburg . He was dismissed for misconduct in 1686 and found a job as a composition teacher in Reichenbach . In March 1693 he got a job as sub-principal of a Latin school and as an organist in Wunsiedel , where he married in 1694. According to the minutes of the council, Funck was suspected of a Criminis Sodomiae at the end of 1698 and had to flee. In the summer of 1700 he found his last field of activity at the St. Jakobskirche in Ilmenau .
