Bartholomäus Ringwaldt (28 November 1532 - c. 1599) was a German didactic poet and Lutheran pastor. He is most recognized as a hymnwriter.〔( ''Bartholomäus Ringwaldt'' (bach-cantatas.com) )〕〔(''Ringwaldt, Bartholomaüs, 1532-1599'' (Hymnary.org) )〕 ==Biography== Bartholomäus Ringwaldt was born in Frankfort-on-the-Oder, Germany. From 1543, he studied theology. After graduating, he first started his career as a teacher. He was ordained into the Lutheran Ministry during 1557 and served as pastor of two parishes. In 1566, he became the pastor of Langenfeld, Brandenburg-Prussia. Starting during the 1570s, he wrote songs and poems which focused on his religious and theological beliefs. Ringwaldt was a prolific hymnist, and may have composed tunes as well.〔(''ADB:Ringwaldt, Bartholomäus'' (Johannes Bolte in: "Allgemeine Deutsche Biographie") )〕 His publications in this genre include: * ''Herr Jesu Christ, du höchstes Gut'' ("Lord Jesus Christ, you highest good"). As well as writing the words, Ringwaldt may have written the anonymous tune.〔 This chorale is the basis for Johann Sebastian Bach's chorale cantata ''Herr Jesu Christ, du höchstes Gut, BWV 113''. Bach, who frequently used hymn stanzas in his church cantatas, used verses from the same chorale in ''Aus der Tiefen rufe ich, Herr, zu dir, BWV 131'', and ''Tue Rechnung! Donnerwort, BWV 168''. * ''Herr Jesu Christ, ich weiß gar wohl'' ("Lord Jesus Christ, I know very well"). Bach used a stanza in ''Wo gehest du hin? BWV 166''. Bartholomäus Ringwaldt died c. 1599 in Langenfeld, today Długoszyn near Sulęcin, Poland.〔(Bartholomäus Ringwaldt (Deutsche Biographie) )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bartholomäus Ringwaldt」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
