For details, see the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dieterich_Buxtehude#Life Wikipedia | Though Danish by birth, Dieterich Buxtehude (1637-1707) is considered a member of the North German organ school. Buxtehude showed early skill at the keyboard, probably receiving his earliest instruction from his father, Joahann. He received his first official post as organist in 1657, in Helsingburg. By 1668 Buxtehude moved to Lübeck, Germany as the successor to Franz Tunder at the Marienkirche. (Buxtehude was only given the position at the Marienkirche under the stipulation that he would marry Franz Tunder's daughter. Handel went to Lübeck to succeed Buxtehude, but chose not to accept the position due to the marriage clause. It is presumed that Bach, too, considered taking Buxtehude'ss position, deferred by the same.) One of his greatest contributions there was his establishment of "Abendmusik"–evening concerts of organ and choral music held annually the five Sundays before Christmas. | ||
The story is told that Bach once traveled 200 miles on foot to hear Buxtehude play. Buxtehude's music brought North German organ composition to its apex. He worked with many different forms, including praeludia, toccatas, and chorale preludes. In sectional forms, Buxtehude began using motives to unify and bring cohesiveness to his music. His Thirty Short Chorale Preludes are representative of the ornamented melody chorale style, which influenced Bach. All his compositions reflect his ability to combine virtuosity and drama with sensitivity and discretion.<ref>Organ Composer Database [http://www.organ.byu.edu/composers/buxtehude.html]</ref> | |||

Synopsis
German-Danish organist and composer
- 1637 born in Helsingborg, Skåne (then in Denmark)
- 1657-58 Helsingborg
- 1660-68 Helsingør
- 1668-1707 Lübeck
Though Danish by birth, Dieterich Buxtehude (1637-1707) is considered a member of the North German organ school. Buxtehude showed early skill at the keyboard, probably receiving his earliest instruction from his father, Joahann. He received his first official post as organist in 1657, in Helsingburg. By 1668 Buxtehude moved to Lübeck, Germany as the successor to Franz Tunder at the Marienkirche. (Buxtehude was only given the position at the Marienkirche under the stipulation that he would marry Franz Tunder's daughter. Handel went to Lübeck to succeed Buxtehude, but chose not to accept the position due to the marriage clause. It is presumed that Bach, too, considered taking Buxtehude'ss position, deferred by the same.) One of his greatest contributions there was his establishment of "Abendmusik"–evening concerts of organ and choral music held annually the five Sundays before Christmas.
The story is told that Bach once traveled 200 miles on foot to hear Buxtehude play. Buxtehude's music brought North German organ composition to its apex. He worked with many different forms, including praeludia, toccatas, and chorale preludes. In sectional forms, Buxtehude began using motives to unify and bring cohesiveness to his music. His Thirty Short Chorale Preludes are representative of the ornamented melody chorale style, which influenced Bach. All his compositions reflect his ability to combine virtuosity and drama with sensitivity and discretion.[1]
