'''Franz Tunder''' | '''Franz Tunder''' (1614-1667) was a German organist, composer, and ''Werckmeister''. He was part of a prestigious line of organists (and one of the longest serving organists) working at the [[Marienkirche, Lübeck]], and was an important composer in the [[North German Organ School]]. | ||

Opinions about Tunder's place of birth varied during the course of modern musicology of early organ music. Around 1925, [[Peter Wiepert]], a local historian in ''Bannesdorf auf Fehmarn'' said that Tunder had been listed as originating from there in local historical documents (however, these documents have since been lost). These same documents stated that Tunder was working as an organist in Copenhagen around 1632...it is not clear if this is supported by any other evidence or if this is the same person. | |||
However, in 1996 [[Gerhard Kay Birkner]]<ref>Birkner, Gerhard Key. "Franz Tunder in Lübeck geboren!". ''Lübeckische Blätter'' 161 (1996) Heft 16 (October 12). p.248.</ref> found that Tunder could be connected to a Franz Tunder Sr. who was active in Lübeck starting in 1598 and was even active with the Marienkirche, leasing storage space for books from the church in 1599. Furthermore, writings by Franz Tunder on August 28, 1665 directly reference his father ("Vaters Frantz Tunders..."). Therefore, it has been conclusively proven that Franz Tunder, the organist, was born in Lübeck, the son of Franz Tunder the older. | |||
Tunder's music teachers are not known. If Tunder was working in Copenhagen around 1632, it is possible that he was taught by [[Melchior Borchgrevinck]], the ''Hoforganist'' and ''Hofkapellmeister'' there. [[Johann Mattheson]]–in 1740–wrote that Franz Tunder studied with [[Girolamo Frescobaldi]] in Italy, but there is no other evidence of this claim. | |||
In February 1640, Tunder married [[Maria Elisabeth Voigt]]. Together they produced five children, including [[Sophia Augusta Tunder]], born in 1644 and the Cantor of the [[Marienkirche, Lübeck]] starting in 1663, and [[Anna Margreta Buxtehude|Anna Margreta]], who was born in 1646 and married [[Dietrich Buxtehude]] in 1668. | |||

Franz Tunder (1614-1667) was a German organist, composer, and Werckmeister. He was part of a prestigious line of organists (and one of the longest serving organists) working at the Marienkirche, Lübeck, and was an important composer in the North German Organ School.
Life
[1]Franz Tunder was born around 1614. His exact date of birth is not known due to missing records, but can be estimated because he was described as 53 years old in a note in an elegy found in the Marienkirche protocol book.
Opinions about Tunder's place of birth varied during the course of modern musicology of early organ music. Around 1925, Peter Wiepert, a local historian in Bannesdorf auf Fehmarn said that Tunder had been listed as originating from there in local historical documents (however, these documents have since been lost). These same documents stated that Tunder was working as an organist in Copenhagen around 1632...it is not clear if this is supported by any other evidence or if this is the same person.
However, in 1996 Gerhard Kay Birkner[2] found that Tunder could be connected to a Franz Tunder Sr. who was active in Lübeck starting in 1598 and was even active with the Marienkirche, leasing storage space for books from the church in 1599. Furthermore, writings by Franz Tunder on August 28, 1665 directly reference his father ("Vaters Frantz Tunders..."). Therefore, it has been conclusively proven that Franz Tunder, the organist, was born in Lübeck, the son of Franz Tunder the older.
Tunder's music teachers are not known. If Tunder was working in Copenhagen around 1632, it is possible that he was taught by Melchior Borchgrevinck, the Hoforganist and Hofkapellmeister there. Johann Mattheson–in 1740–wrote that Franz Tunder studied with Girolamo Frescobaldi in Italy, but there is no other evidence of this claim.
In February 1640, Tunder married Maria Elisabeth Voigt. Together they produced five children, including Sophia Augusta Tunder, born in 1644 and the Cantor of the Marienkirche, Lübeck starting in 1663, and Anna Margreta, who was born in 1646 and married Dietrich Buxtehude in 1668.
At the end of September, 1641, Franz Tunder assumed the office of Organist at the Marienkirche. He became the Werckmeister in 1647. On July 31, 1648 Tunder played for the wedding of Matthias Weckmann and Regina Beute.
Franz Tunder passed away at 9:30 PM on November 5, 1667.
Analysis
The organ chorale works of Franz Tunder can be divided into four categories[3]:
- Verse cycles with separate verses - Jesus Christus, unser Heiland
- Continuous Verse cycles - Auf meinen lieben Gott
- Choral ricercare - Jesus Christus, wahr' Gottes Sohn
- Choral Fantasie (the rest of the surviving compositions)
Works
Except for one work, all remaining pieces by Franz Tunder are unicas. The sources of Tunder's organ music are in three main categories:
- The Lüneburg Tablatures, including D-Lr Mus.ant.pract. K.N. 209.
- The Pelplin Tablatures, a collection of manuscripts from the Pelplin Monestary.
- The Canzona by Tunder is located in a manuscript currently housed in the Universitetsbibliotek, Uppsala.
Note: numbers in brackets are written in the manuscript by a librarian.

Klaus Beckmann noted that the location of the Canzon in S-Uu Ms. Ihre 285, a manuscript which primarily transmitted harpsichord suites, suggests that the piece may have been written for the harpsichord or other string keyboard instrument.[4]
It has been found that the theme of the Canzon is similar to that of the motet Salve mi Jesu by Francesco Della Porta found in Motetti concertati (Venezia, 1647, published by Giovanni Rovetta).[4]
Other theorized works
Two chorale fantasias from the Pelplin Tablatures are theorized to be by Franz Tunder by Klaus Beckmann, despite the composer "H.S.M." being written[5]. He also theorized that the anonymous Magnificat octavi toni (also a chorale fantasia) from the Zellerfeld Tablatures no.1 is by Tunder[Citation needed].
The first praeludium in D-Lr Mus.ant.pract. K.N. 207/16, which is anonymous, has been described as being reminiscent of Tunder[6].
