Philipp Nicolai (10 August 1556 – 26 October 1608) was a German Lutheran pastor, poet, and composer. He is most widely recognized as a hymnwriter. 〔(''Philipp Nicolai, Hymnwriter'' (justus.anglican.org) )〕〔(''Philip Nicolai (1556-1608)'' (Hymns Ancient and Modern: Historical Edition William H. Frere, 1909) )〕 ==Biography== Philipp Nicolai was born at Mengeringhausen in Waldeck, Hesse, Germany where his father was a Lutheran priest. His early education include studies at Kassel in Hesse, Hildesheim in Lower Saxony and Dortmund in Westphalia. He studied theology at the University of Erfurt where he was a pupil of Ludwig Helmbold.〔(''Philipp Nicolai, 1556-1608'' (STEM Publishing) )〕 In 1583, he was ordained to the Lutheran ministry and was appointed minister at Herdecke. He was subsequently expelled during the Counter-Reformation. In 1588, he became pastor at Altwildungen in Hesse. He graduated with a Doctorate Degree in Theology from the University of Wittenberg in 1594. In 1596, he became the minister at Unna in Westphalia. In 1601, he was elected chief pastor of St. Katherine’s Church (''Katharinenkirche'') in Hamburg.〔(''Philipp Nicolai'' (Hymns and Carols of Christmas.com) )〕〔(''Nicolai, Philipp, D.D.''(Hymnary.org) )〕 He was the author of two famous hymns: ''Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme'' and ''Wie schön leuchtet der Morgenstern'', sometimes referred to as the King and Queen of Chorales, respectively. These two chorales have inspired many composers, including Johann Sebastian Bach, whose chorale cantatas ''Wie schön leuchtet der Morgenstern'', BWV 1, and ''Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme'', BWV 140, are based on them. Bach's organ transcription of the latter, as published in the Schübler Chorales, has become world famous. Nicolai is supposed to be the last example of the Meistersinger tradition, in which words and music, text and melody stem from one and the same person.〔(''Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme'', translated by: Catherine Winkworth as ''Wake, Awake, for Night is Flying'' )〕〔(''King and Queen of Chorales'' (Christian Classics Eternal Library) )〕 Philipp Nicolai is commemorated in the Calendar of Saints of the Lutheran Church on 26 October together with hymnwriters Johann Heermann and Paul Gerhardt.
