Johann Ulich

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Johann Ulich also: Uhlich (* July 7, 1634 in Leipzig ; † January 3, 1712 in Wittenberg ) was a German Lutheran church musician and composer .

Life

Nothing is known about Ulich's ancestry and first career. However, he seems to have received musical training at a young age. What is certain is that he enrolled at the University of Leipzig in the winter semester of 1645 . Ulich was organist in Torgau from 1654 . On March 11, 1657, he completed his audition at the Wittenberg town church and became cantor there on June 3 of the same year. In 1674 he also became organist at the Wittenberg Castle Church .

Several of Ulich's compositions have been preserved in print. Of his hymn tunes is my Jesus, I do not let in a rhythmically simplified version in the Protestant hymnal (no. 402) included. She lies u. a. based on the cantata of the same name by Max Reger .
