Christoph Graupner
(Kirchberg, 13 January 1683 - Darmstadt, 10 May 1760)
German composer. The son of Christoph Graupner (1650-1721) and Maria Hochmuth (1653-1721), he was born into a family of tailors and clothmakers. He received his earliest musical training from the local Kantor Michael Mylius (who early detected Graupner’s exceptional abilities to sing at sight) and the organist Nikolaus Kuster. In 1694 Graupner followed Kuster to Reichenbach, remaining there under his guidance until admitted as an alumnus of the Thomasschule in Leipzig, where he remained from 1696 to 1704. His teachers there included Johann Schelle and Kuhnau, for whom he also worked as copyist and amanuensis. His subsequent studies in jurisprudence at the University of Leipzig were broken off in 1706 through a Swedish military invasion, and he emigrated to Hamburg. In Leipzig he had already made firm and artistically stimulating friendships with G.P. Telemann (then director of the collegium musicum) and Gottfried Grünewald. At Hamburg in 1707 Graupner succeeded J.C. Schiefferdecker as harpsichordist of the Gänsemarktoper. Between 1707 and 1709 Graupner composed five operas for this theatre and possibly collaborated with Reinhard Keiser in the joint composition of another three. His librettists included Hinrich Hinsch (Dido, Königin von Carthago) and Barthold Feind, a jurist-satirist-aesthetician. In 1709, in response to an invitation from Ernst Ludwig, Landgrave of Hesse-Darmstadt, Graupner accepted the position of vice-Kapellmeister to W.C. Briegel, whom he succeeded on the latter’s death in 1712. In 1711 he was married to Sophie Elisabeth Eckard, who bore him six sons and a daughter; her younger sister was married to a Lutheran pastor, Johann Conrad Lichtenberg of Neunkirchen in Odenwald, the author of the texts of most of Graupner’s subsequent cantatas.
Under Graupner’s direction the Darmstadt Hofkapelle experienced a period of vigorous expansion. At its peak (1714-18) the Kapelle employed 40 musicians, many of whom, in keeping with practices of the day, were adept in several different instruments. In these early years of his long incumbency, Italian operas were performed frequently and Graupner centred his activities on operatic compositions. Between 1712 and 1721 he also renewed his early friendship with Telemann, then active in Frankfurt. After 1719, however, financial pressures enforced a reduction in the size of the Kapelle and Graupner composed no more operas, concentrating instead on the cantata, orchestral and instrumental forms. During this period most of the orchestral personnel were obliged to find subsidiary employment, often in other court duties, and the relationship between the Landgrave and his musicians deteriorated. In 1722-3 Graupner successfully applied (in competition with J.S. Bach) for the Thomaskirche cantorate in Leipzig, on Telemann’s withdrawal, but when the Landgrave refused acceptance of his resignation, granting him a significant increase in salary and other emoluments, he decided to remain in Darmstadt. There his reputation attracted a number of important composers, including J.F. Fasch, as his students. Until his activities were restricted by failing eyesight and eventually blindness in 1754, Graupner remained extraordinarily prolific, producing 1418 church cantatas, 24 secular cantatas, 113 symphonies, about 50 concertos, 86 overture-suites, 36 sonatas for instrumental combinations and a substantial body of keyboard music.
No conocía a este músico genial. Bellas piezas. Gracias por compartir ❤
Très plaisante composition, merci
The part starting at 13:02 is incredible!
The 'output' of this composer is out of world...! Jn
何時も素晴らしい響きの､音源をｱｯﾌﾟﾛｰﾄﾞして頂き有り難うございます。👏👏‼
Флейтовая тема особенно интеоесга... медь в увертюре дивная...
Very beautiful! Thank you for uploading this!
I wanted to listen to Christoph Graupner's work more, but I couldn't get the sound source, so I gave up halfway.
We are grateful to Pau NG for providing the sound source for Christoph Graupner's Overture.
As for Christoph Graupner, I had a sinfonia with a timpani solo, but I'm really happy that the timpani is also active in this song and I was able to get a very nice song.
thank you very much.
Amazing output, so sad that so little of it is being performed or recorded, this it top notch Baroque music!
I wanted to say: Thank you Pau NG for this post. Graupner is unjustifiably neglected. Here is a true event. Johann Kunau, a cantor, died in 1722 at Thomasschule in Leipzig. In 1722, JS Bach (Chaplain-master at the court in Köthen) applied for the "Kantor" position in Leipzig but was not shortlisted together with 6 candidates, already proven musical icons: Telemann, Fasch (whose works JS Bach transcribed with his own hand), Graupner… Two commissions were made by the selection committee and only those musicians who were chaplains, cantors, or organists in one of the many cities in Germany could be chosen. Only when all the 6 musicians quit for similar reasons (for instance, the city government of Hamburg did not want to lose Telemann, so they increased his salary and did not want to terminate his contract), the two commissions also took into consideration JS Bach. In order not to fail (because new cantatas should be performed every week in 4 churches), the commissions agreed to receive this "mediocre musician", Johann Sebastian Bach!
"mediocre musician".............. thanks !! Graupner has over 1700 (!) works available on IMSLP website
imslp.org/wiki/Category:Graupner,_Christoph
For sure, he deserves a musical reborn!
Да, Граупнер заслуживает возрождения! Спасибо, это хорошая музыка!!!
Un un un huevo uno se uno se😊⁸8
Barroco magnífico; o uso dos metais, trompas em especial faz juz à tradição das fanfarras. As cordas em passagem ligadas, rápidas rasgam o tempo como raios, e em pizicatos brincam com o ouvinte. Certamente, deve-se à ópera e às necessidades das cenas tamanha inventividade sonora. Telemann e Hasse explorariam esse caminho. Os franceses especialmente Lully, também.
Wow! This is fantastic music! Another hidden genius. Why would anyone overlook this? ❤
Very nice
Thank you Pau NG for this post. Graupner mann is unjustifiably neglected. Here is a true event. 1722 Johann Kunau, a cantor, died at Thomasschule in Leipzig. In 1722, JSBah (Chaplain-master at the court in Keten) applied for the Qatari place in Leipzig and was not shortlisted by 6 candidates, with already proven musical sizes: Teleman, Fash (whose works JS Bah transcribed with his own hand), Graupner … In order to prevent the “setting up of competition”, two commissions were made by the selection committee: the commissioning officer and the commissioning officer. Only those musicians who were chaplains, cantors, or organists in one of the many cities in Germany could choose. Only when Teleman quit because the city government of Hanburg did not want to lose the music icon (so they increased his salary - and did not want to terminate his contract), and for similar reasons, they quit Fash (Chapel Makstor in Serbisht near Desau near Berlin) , Graupner ... the two commissions also took into consideration the JS organ Baha. In order not to fail (because new cantatas should be performed every week in 4 churches), the commissions agreed to receive this "mediocre musician", Johan Sebastian Bach.

A surprise!

I never understand why it has become convention for flute players to use flutter tonguing in this piece. It's true that Graupner uses a symbol in the flute solo that in the 21st century could be interpreted as such, but its a symbol he uses in scores all the time in all kinds of parts, its some kind of grace ornament. In any case its not a flutter tongue symbol. Regardless it sounds nice anyway.

Graupner may have written more than Telemann.
