Tunder: Complete Organ Music

Cardi, Emanuele

94901

Franz Tunder (1614-1667): another of those superbly schooled North German musicians whose name was quickly eclipsed by the great Johann Sebastian, but whose music has happily been rediscovered by the historically informed performance movement. Indeed he studied with Frescobaldi, the forebear to whom Bach himself owed much, and the Florentine influence is apparent in some of the stile antico harmony of the chorales and the dancing rhythms of the Canzona in G major. Tunder’s career was made in Lübeck, where he became organist of the Marienkirche in 1641, having made a politically expedient marriage to the daughter of the court tailor. Among five children born to the Tunders, Anne Margarethe then married Tunder’s successor in Lübeck, the very Dieterich Buxtehude whom Bach hiked halfway up Germany to hear as a young man.
