Johann Christoph Bodinus
Johann Christoph Bodinus (baptized on January 20, 1690 in Rippersroda ; buried on August 20, 1727 in Frankfurt am Main ) was a German composer and Protestant church musician of the Baroque period .
Life
Bodinus received his first musical lessons from his father Adam Georg , cantor of Apfelstädt . He probably graduated from high school in Gotha and studied law in Halle (1710) and Jena (1713). He probably didn't get a degree. In 1717 he came to Frankfurt am Main and became assistant to the city music director and conductor of the Barfüßerkirche , Georg Philipp Telemann . After Telemann's departure to Hamburg, the city council appointed him as his successor on September 17, 1721 at the suggestion of the Scholarchen , a four-person council commission responsible for school supervision. The Barfüßerkirche has been the main church of the Protestant imperial city since the Reformation. The students and teachers of the municipal grammar school , which had been located in the former monastery rooms since 1540, were responsible for the choir singing in the church .
On December 25, 1722, Bodinus received Frankfurt citizenship . On January 18, 1724, he married Margarethe Dorothea Werlin , daughter of the goldsmith Johann Casimir Werlin . Margarethe came from the influential family of the town school leader Johann Heinrich Werlin . The marriage produced a daughter and a son.
Works
21 cantatas by Bodinus have survived. In addition, he performed numerous cantatas by his predecessor Telemann and made copies of them.
