Matthias Weckmann

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Matthias Weckmann (born before April 3, 1619 - probably between late 1615 and early 1617 - in Niederdorla ; † February 24, 1674 in Hamburg ) was a German organist and composer .

Forms of names and pronunciation

The autograph form of the surname is regularly "Weckman". Other non-autograph spellings are "Weckmann", occasionally also "Weykmann", "Weykman" or "Wegkmann". The current pronunciation of the surname is [vɛkmɑn] , but the form of the name “Weykmann” indicates the possibility that the c , g or y denote an extension of the preceding vowel, and that the name was used at least by individual speakers in the 17th century as [ve [ː] kmɑn] or diphthongized [vɛɪ̯kmɑn] was pronounced.

Life

Matthias Weckmann was born the son of Jacobus Weckmann and his wife Maria. In the year he was born, his father was referred to as Custos in a list of communicants in Niederdorla . On June 26, 1623 he was named in baptism files as Ludimoderator (main teacher, schoolmaster), a job title that he also wore when his son Jacobus (junior) was baptized on February 15, 1631. Jacobus Weckmann senior worked as a pastor in Oppershausen from November 2, 1628 and died on November 17, 1631.

Nothing is known about Weckmann's first musical training. A contact to his later teacher Heinrich Schütz may have arisen at the end of 1627 at the Electoral Congress in nearby Mühlhausen , in which Schütz took part in the wake of the Saxon Elector Johann Georg I. Weckmann's training with Schütz could have been arranged here.

Jacobus Weckmann personally brought Matthias to Dresden, where he was probably a chapel boy and member of the Dresden court orchestra from 1628. He received singing lessons from Caspar Kittel and organ lessons from Johann Klemm , while Heinrich Schütz supervised Weckmann's training after his return from Italy in 1629 and must have instructed him in composition from a certain point on. A good relationship developed between the two, Matthias Weckmann later referred to the Kapellmeister as a fatherly friend .

In February 1631 Weckmann took part in the Leipzig Convention as a discantist of the Saxon court orchestra . A year later, according to a list of the instrumentists at the Dresden court, he was organist (classified after the first organist Johann Klemm). In September 1633 Schütz personally brought Weckmann to Hamburg, where he was to study with the organist of the St. Petri Church , Jacob Praetorius , as a scholarship holder of the Saxon Elector . There he met his college friend Jakob Kortkamp and the organist of the Katharinenkirche Heinrich Scheidemann . Even more than before in the palace chapel in Dresden, he had the opportunity to get to know Gottfried Fritzsche's organ building firsthand, as he was rebuilding the large organs of the four main Hamburg churches from 1630 onwards.

In 1636 or 1637 Weckmann returned from Hamburg to Dresden and became organist at the electoral palace chapel . Between 1637 and 1639 the newly founded chapel of Prince Elector Johann Georg was accepted. On Weckmann finally became court organist and in 1642 also supervisor and trainer of the discantists .

After he had traveled to the royal Danish court in Copenhagen for the first time for a short time as early as 1637 on behalf of Schütz, he accompanied this and other members of the electoral Saxon chapel on another long trip to Denmark from September 1642. Here he was appointed Kapellmeister at the Prinzenhof in Nykøbing by Crown Prince Christian , the son-in-law of the Saxon Elector . The stay in Denmark was interrupted by at least one trip to Germany, because Weckmann was in Magdeburg in May 1643 for unknown reasons. Weckmann played the organ in Nykøbing, which Johan Lorentz the Elder had built in 1634 on behalf of the Crown Prince in his castle church, a Renaissance building, and he also taught chapel boys. The prince died in 1647 and Weckmann returned to his position as court organist in Dresden, but stayed in Hamburg that same year.

On July 31, 1648 married Weckmann in Lübeck Regina prey (or Bente), the daughter of a lute player , said at the Lübeck Marienkirche active Franz Tunder appeared as a witness in appearance.

In 1649 Weckmann was promoted to Inspector of the court orchestra. In the winter of 1649/1650 Johann Jacob Froberger visited the Dresden court, where the two musicians fought a musical competition with each other. This actually ended in a draw, but Froberger was courteously awarded the prize as a guest. From this encounter a lively correspondence and musical exchange between the two musicians developed, to which Weckmann owed significant impulses for his own compositional work.

In 1655 Weckmann received an annual salary of 300 thalers as Cammer and Hoff = organist , but this year he applied for the position of organist at St. Jacobi in Hamburg. This position became vacant after the death of the organist Ulrich Cernitz (1598–1654), who had held it since 1631 and who, like Jacob Praetorius and Scheidemann, was a student of the famous “Hamburg organist” Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck . After a convincing audition, Weckmann was appointed organist and clerk of the Jacobikirche and its branch chapel St. Gertrud Church on November 27, 1655 . The contact with the Dresden court did not break off after his departure, however, as his sons Hans Georg and Jakob studied at the University of Wittenberg at the expense of the Saxon elector and he himself undertook a trip to Dresden in 1667 (?).

Even before Weckmann took office in Hamburg at the end of 1655, Gottfried Fritzsche's son, the organ builder Hans Christoph Fritzsche , had already started building the organ in St. Jacobi for 1656 marks in the same year . to renovate. It is not known whether this work, which lasted until 1658, was carried out in 1655 with regard to and perhaps even in consultation with the new organist Weckmann. However, he must have worked closely with H. Chr. Fritzsche on this work from the time he took office.

Weckmann acquired the citizenship of the Hanseatic city in 1660 and founded the Hamburg Collegium musicum with leading musicians of the city and with the support of influential citizens . He must have met Johann Adam Reincken in Hamburg , who had been organist at the Katharinenkirche since Scheidemann's death in 1663. It is not known whether he met Tunder's son-in-law Dietrich Buxtehude , but it is quite likely. He was friends with the organist Jakob Kortkamp , his former student friend with Jacob Praetorius, and Johann Olffen (? –1670), Jacob Praetorius' successor at St. Petri in Hamburg, to whom Weckmann probably owed the call to Hamburg.

Weckmann worked in Hamburg one after the other with the organ builders Hans Christoph Fritzsche and Joachim Richborn . He also appeared as a godfather in Richborn's family. Weckmann took from Richborn's restoration of the organ in the church in Steinbek in 1663 and the new building (II / P 20) from Richborn's main church St. Michaelis (first building, 1647–1750) . Weckmann recommended Richborn, who received the order, to repair (1667–1668) the organ of the St. Nicolai Church in Altenbruch near Cuxhaven.

Weckmann's first wife Regina died in 1665, and he married for the second time in 1669. While the first marriage had eight children - three of them from pre-Hamburg times - Weckmann and his second wife Catharina (née Roland) had three children together. From the group of children, the son Jacob Weckmann from his first marriage also became a musician. He was the Thomas organist in Leipzig from 1672 until his death in 1680 .

Matthias Weckmann died in Hamburg in 1674 and was buried on March 1, 1674 in a family grave in the St. Jacobi Church below the organ. His successor Hinrich Freese († 1720) married Weckman's widow Catharina and thus took over his music, part of which was later acquired by the Lüneburg Johannis organist Georg Böhm . That is why a large part of Weckmann's works that have survived to this day can be found in the Lüneburg council library. 

student

Few of Weckmann's students are known today. These are

  • Johann Samuel Schein (1619 –1679 or later). The son of the Leipzig Thomaskantor Johann Hermann Schein studied in Dresden with Weckmann from 1637/38 - 1641/42.
  • Johan Kortkamp (around 1643 - 1721) was with Weckmann in the organist training for six years before or until 1664. He was the son of Jakob Kortkamp, ​​the above-mentioned friend Weckmann from the common study time with Jacob Praetorius. Johan Kortkamp's detailed and consistently reliable biographical information about his teacher Weckmann is of great value for research.

Since there is no evidence of Dieterich Buxtehude's training between 1655 and 1657, it is possible that, in addition to Tunder and Scheidemann, Weckmann could also be one of Buxtehude's possible teachers.

Works

The works preserved make Weckmann appear to be an extremely imaginative and expressive composer.
