| Added by magataganm, 19 Apr 2020 Friedrich Gottlieb Klingenberg (? - 1720) was a German organist and baroque composer, a native of Berlin, studied with Buxtehude around 1689, before taking up the post of organist at St. Nicholas's in Berlin. In 1699, while Schnitger was building the new organ for St. Jacobi Church, Stettin, the old organist died, the position of organist was upgraded, and Klingenberg received it. Perhaps he, like Schnitger, had come on Buxtehude's recommenda-tion; a director of the church, Johann Kohler, was an old friend of Buxtehude's from Litheck—Buxtehude addressed him as "mon tree honore Amy a Stettin"—and it was he who had originally written to Buxtehude for his recommendation of an organ builder.''` Klingenberg took two full weeks to test the organ and later complained that Schnitger's assistant, Johann Balthasar Held, was not maintain-ing it properly. He did not get along well with the cantor, either, and probably had a difficult personality. As a composer he is known only for his vocal works.36 As a teacher, Klingenberg passed his legacy from Buxtehude on to his pupils. He must have had a collection of Buxtehude organ works that served as the exemplars for the copies that Gottfried Lindemann made in Stettin in 1713 and 1714, probably while studying with Klingenberg. Lindemann later went to Sweden, and his copies of Buxtehude organ works are now at the university library in Lund. Probably Klingenberg's most illustrious pupil was the writer Martin Heinrich Fuhrmann, who studied with Klingenberg in Berlin. Fuhrmann must have attended a Buxtehude Abendmusik, for he describes Buxtehude's direction of a large orchestra —which is quoted in chapter 11— in his Musicalischer-Trichter (1706). He later wrote of the three great B's in German music: Buxtehude, Bach, and Bachelbel.” Although originally written for Chorus (SATB), Strings & Organ, I created this interpretation of the "Es ist Genug" (Funeral Cantata) for Winds (Flute, Oboe, English Horn, French Horn & Bassoon) & Strings (2 Violins, 2 Violas, Cello & Bass). | |||
