David Pohle (1624 – 20 December 1695) was a German composer of the Baroque era. His surname is also spelled Pohl, Pohlen, Pole, Pol or Bohle. ==Biography== Pohle was born in Marienberg into a family of civic musicians. He was a pupil of Heinrich Schütz in Dresden.〔Snyder.〕 He and his brother Samuel joined the ''Kapelle'' of Christian I, Duke of Saxe-Merseburg as instrumentalists. From 1650 to 1652 his presence at Kassel is documented. From 1653 he was at the Holstein-Gottorp court in Schleswig. In a baptismal record of 1660 he is named as "''Concertmeister'' to the prince of Magdeburg", namely Augustus, Duke of Saxe-Weissenfels. Pohle became the ''Kapellmeister'' for the Duke's court at Halle that same year, succeeding Philipp Stolle.〔Baron.〕 The poet and dramatist David Elias Heidenreich worked in the Saxon courts as an official, and provided the libretti for a number of the ''Singspiel'' operas that Pohle composed.〔 Christian Ritter was also at Halle, as organist, for some years up to 1677, when Ritter was succeeded in the post of ''Kammerorganist'' by Johann Philipp Krieger.〔Buelow (1993). pp. 236–237〕 From 1674 to 1677 Pohle also worked at the secundogeniture courts at Saxe-Weissenfels and Saxe-Zeitz. When the court at Halle moved to Weissenfels in 1680, Krieger, who had already become deputy ''Kapellmeister'' at the court, replaced Pohle as ''Kapellmeister''.〔 From 1678 to 1682 Pohle held the post of ''Kapellmeister'' at Zeitz, a role he shared with Heinrich Gottfried Kühnel.〔Buelow (1993). p. 242〕 Violinist Christian Heinrich Aschenbrenner was also at Zeitz during that time.〔Bergunder.〕 When the Zeitz ''Kapelle'' was disbanded,〔 in 1682, Pohle became ''Kapellmeister'' for the secundogeniture court at Saxe-Merseburg.〔 He was accompanied there by Aschenbrenner.〔 Pohle remained at Merseburg till he died in 1695. His earliest surviving compositions are ''Lieder'' in strophic form, settings of odes by Paul Fleming. He dedicated these in 1650 to William VI, Landgrave of Hesse-Kassel. Between 1663 and 1664 he wrote a cycle of cantatas for the church year. In each one of these, in addition to biblical verse there is a strophic aria, for which Pohle set odes by David Elias Heidenreich. Only one work from this cycle survives, ''Siehe, es hat überwunden der Löwe''. In his sacred vocal works the influence of Heinrich Schütz is noticeable. Pohle's vocal works provide a link between Heinrich Schütz und Johann Sebastian Bach in the development of the Protestant cantata. His preference for middle and lower voices, and above all his experimentation with form in his instrumental music, create a distinctive style which reveals itself despite the limited scope of his works. None of Pohle's works were published during his lifetime. Only manuscripts survived, and much was lost. However, recent years have seen some of his works published. 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「David Pohle」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
