Franz Tunder
Franz Tunder (* 1614 in Lübeck ; † November 5, 1667 there ) was a German composer and organist .
Life
According to older beliefs, Tunder should have been born in Bannesdorf or Burg on Fehmarn , but according to more recent findings Lübeck is his place of birth. According to Johann Mattheson , Tunder was a student of Girolamo Frescobaldi ; However, today's research doubts this and rather suspects that Tunder's predecessor Johann Heckelauer was a student of Frescobaldi. In his successor, Tunder worked from 1632 to 1641 in Schloss Gottorf as Frederick III's court organist .
From 1641 until the end of his life he was organist as successor to Peter Hasse , and from 1647 he was also a foreman (ie administrative manager) at the Marienkirche in Lübeck. Tunder was the predecessor and father-in-law of the organ virtuoso Dietrich Buxtehude . He introduced the tradition of evening music that continues to this day in Lübeck . Franz Tunder is considered one of the great representatives of the North German organ school , so he was one of the first to shape the North German Toccata type . His work, which also included vocal music ( motets , sacred arias , choral cantatas ), has largely been lost. Regardless of this, the works that have survived are of an archaic magnificence with bold harmonies that prepared the later work of Buxtehude and Bach.
The asteroid (7871) Tunder is named after him.
