'''Otmar Nachtgall''' (1480-1537), also known as '''Othmar''' and '''Luscinius''', was a priest, organist, and Humanist of the early Renaissance. His arrangement of the popular song "''Ein fröhlich Wesen''" survives, ornamented, in the [[D-B Mus.ms. 40026|tablature]] of [[Leonhard Kleber]], along with two other compositions, "In patientia vestra" and a "Fortuna" setting.

== Biography ==
Luscinius was born in Strasbourg, then a free imperial city, and studied various arts in Heidelberg, Leuven, and Vienna. After finishing his studies, being ordained a priest, and travelling to the former Greek empire, he returned to Strasbourg in 1514 and soon achieved several noteworthy positions in local churches. Having earned a doctorate in law at Padua, he moved to Augsburg in 1523, and again to Freiburg im Breisgau in 1529. He died at the local Carthusian monastery.
