Born in Kirchberg, Saxony, in January 1683, Christoph Graupner was one of the most important composers of his time. The composers Heinichen, Mattheson, Grünewald, and also Fasch (who was a student of his) counted among Graupner’s friends and admirers. After studying in Leipzig with Kuhnau—J.S. Bach‘s predecessor at the Thomaskirche—Graupner left the city in 1705 to assume the function of harpsichordist in the Hamburg Opera Orchestra, directed by Reinhard Keiser. During that period, Graupner composed several operas that met with much public acclaim. After hearing the works performed upon his visits to Hamburg, the landgrave of Hesse-Darmstadt, an avid music lover and occasional composer, decided he must have Graupner in his service.
In 1709, Graupner was thus offered a post at the court of Hesse-Darmstadt, where he became Hofkapellmeister in 1711. His duties—which consisted in composing both sacred and secular court music, copying it, having it rehearsed and conducting it, as well as playing the harpsichord—kept him so busy that he worked with no time off, and of this he discreetly complained. In March of 1723, at the request of the landgrave, he regretfully turned down the prestigious position that had been offered him: Cantor at St. Thomas’s in Leipzig. This allowed Johann Sebastian Bach to be granted the post. Struck with total blindness in 1754, he stopped composing altogether after having turned out some 2000 works of the highest quality.
