Truid Aagesen

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Truid Aagesen (also: Truid Ågesen , Theodoricus Sistinus , Theodorico Sistino , Trudo Haggaei Malmogiensis ; before 1593 - after 1625) was a Danish composer and organist in the service of the Danish King Christian IV.

Life

Little is known about Aagesen's early life. The name Malmogiensis indicates that it comes from Malmö. He is said to have been trained in Germany and Italy for several years. The Jesuit priest Laurentius Nicolai Norvegus describes Aagesen as his pupil. Presumably he attended the Jesuit school in Graz . In March 1593 he wrote a musical farewell to a fellow student in Wittenberg, the later councilor Nils Krag. On June 23, 1593 he became organist at the Frauenkirche in Copenhagen . The employment certificate states that he was of Danish birth. He received various proofs of favor from the king, including an apartment made available free of charge - a sign that he enjoyed a certain reputation as an artist in the royal family. From 1599 to 1600 he seems to have studied in Venice.

He was Christian IV's royal envoy with various musical duties. This made it easier for him to maintain his Catholic contacts abroad. So he traveled to Prague in 1600. He seems to have been a Catholic only in secret. In Copenhagen it is said to have been the contact and meeting point for returning Jesuit students. After such a meeting, a public brawl broke out in the street, which was witnessed in the minutes of the consistory .

Documented, published and preserved are his three-part canzons, which he had printed in Hamburg in 1608 under his Latinized name Theodoricus Sistinus by Philipp von Ohr (“excudebantur typis”) and Samuel Jauch (“impensis”). It is believed that between 1609 and 1611 he had closer contact with the king's court, as he received grants from the royal treasury in addition to his church income for organist services. In 1613 the Danish king published a decree in which he stipulated that all persons of the "papist religion" had to leave Denmark. Since Aagesen had been suspected of being on the Pope's payroll since 1604, and his name had surfaced in a trial against a Jesuit student named Udby, he was dismissed from his organist service on September 15, 1613 and sent into exile.

Despite this source, individual later sources still testify to a stay in Copenhagen, such as a record by the university from October 14, 1613 and a wage payment on Michael’s Day ( September 29 ) 1615. From then on Johan Meincke is listed as his successor as organist of the Frauenkirche. It was not until 1625 that historical sources show him again with his wife and children in Gdansk , Poland , a popular destination for Danish Catholics seeking exile . His fate was so important to the Danish recusants that on January 23, 1626 his plight was at a meeting of the S. Congregatio de Propaganda fide in the presence of Pope Urban VIII . was presented.
