Martin Radeck Jr.

Martin Radeck Jr. (1640-1684) was a German organist and composer.

Not to be confused with Johann Martin Radeck, an organist from the same extended family working in Roskilde, Denmark.

Life

Martin Radeck was likely born around 1640 in Flensburg, where his father Johann Rudolph Radeck Sr. was working. In 1645 the Radeck family moved to Copenhagen. There, Martin most likely learned the organ and composition from his father. Since the middle of 1660 he worked at Trinity Church in Copenhagen, playing a new Hans Christoph Fritzsche organ. In 1663 he started working at the Heiliggeistkirche due to his father's death.

On November 8, 1670, Martin Radeck married Magdalene Sibylle Schindler.

Martin Radeck passed away in September, 1684.
