The
composer and organist
Paul Siefert, baptized in
Gdansk on 28 June 1586
and died there on 6 May
1666, belongs to the
'North German organ
school'. Thanks to a
grant of the town council
of Gdansk, Siefert spent
the years from 1607 until
probably late 1610
studying in Amsterdam
where he got important
ideas and suggestions as
a pupil of Sweelinck.
After his return he
became deputy organist in
Gdansk. From 1611 to 1616
he worked as an organist
first at the church in
the old town of
Konigsberg, then at the
Warsaw court orchestra.
On 23 September 1623 he
was appointed organist at
the Marienkirche of
Gdansk in succession to
Michael Weyda where he
worked until the end of
his life. This edition of
his organ works contains
13 fantasias, two chorale
preludes and a motet as
well as a detailed
description of the work
in the preface and in the
critical report.
