Andreas Werckmeister (1645-1706) was a Thuringian organist, composer, and theorist.

In addition to his theoretical writings, a few compositions by Werckmeister survive.

The single-mindedness of his view of music within the framework of his musical and spiritual world did not, of course, embrace the Germany of the large secular courts or the major northern cities, where music was frequently an amalgam of the French and Italian styles. Yet the culture of his more circumscribed world of central Germany formed, in its last and greatest expression, one aspect of the more universal genius of Bach.[1]

Compositions

A select number of compositions by Andreas Werckmeister survive, scattered in various manuscripts.
