Johann Michael Müller (composer)
Johann Michael Müller (also Jean Michel Muller ) (* 1683 in Schmalkalden , † 1743 in Hanau ) was a German organist and composer of the late Baroque.
Live and act
In 1706, Johann Michael Müller succeeded Franz Piscator as organist and director musicae at St. Mary's Church in Hanau . In 1713 he was appointed praeceptor and in 1737 vice rector at the Hanau high school.
His well-known works include a new set of complete psalm and chorale books based on the new and purest composition: in which not only the hundred and fifty psalms of David , but also the most common Evangelical Lutheran church chants, along with the Neander Federal songs, So bißhero were sung according to his familiar melodies, set in suitable melodies, And altogether on the piano with a correct bass provided by Johann Michael Müller ; the collection was published by Johann Adolph Stock in Frankfurt in 1719, with a dedication poem by Georg Philipp Telemann .
Johann Gottfried Walther reported in his Musical Lexicon of 1732 that Müller had " 12 sonatas with concertierendem Hautbois, other Hautbois or violons and a waist, Fagot and GB engraved with Estienne Roger in Amsterdam around 1712 , and such (as his first work) to the Count of Hanau Philipp Reinhard dedicated to his master ”. This collection of works resembling the structure of the Concerto grosso was considered lost for a long time. In the meantime, a copy of the first print has been found in the Lund University Library (Sweden).
