Andreas Neunhaber (or Neunaber, 1603-1663) was a Polish organist and composer from Gdanśk. One piece by him survives in D-B Ms. Lynar B 8.
Life
Andreas was born to Hans Neunaber in Gdanśk in 1603. He was a student of Mathias Läder, Paul Siefert, and Tarquinio Merula.
In Gdanśk he was appointed the organist at the small organ at St. Mary's, and in 1640 he became the organist at St. Katherine's.
He died in 1663 and was buried on 11 July.
Work
See also: D-B Ms. Lynar B 8
The only surviving work by Andreas Neunhaber is found in manuscript B 8 from the Lynar Tablatures. This manuscript contains two settings of Ich ruf zu die, Herr Jesu Christ, and Andreas's name (actually "Anton Neunhaber") is found in the title for the second piece. Opinions differ on if Neunhaber is the composer of both pieces or only the second, or if they are two separate pieces or two verses.[1]
The first piece is a three-voice manualiter setting in which the soprano voice plays the cantus firmus with coloration. The second piece is a Chorale Fantasia with manual-change indications telling the player to play the piece on three manuals and pedals.
