Andreas in Hildesheim. In 1697, he assumed the organist's post at the Stadtkirche in Celle. In 1720, he was appointed court organist at Hanover.
Only a few works by him have survived: two small oratorios - for Christmas and Easter, one single-movement keyboard sonata in A major (regarded as the earliest German documentation of the form of the two-part sonata structure, comparable to the formal type encountered in Domenico Scarlatti), and a Praeludium in E minor for organ. A "Präludium & Fuge" in g minor - which was found not long ago in Berlin and was at first believed to be composed by Nicolaus Bruhns - is now believed to be composed by Brunckhorst. • Brunckhorst Opera omnia complete works: Weihnachts-Historie, Prelude for Organ in E minor. Oster-Historie, Harpsichord Sonata in A major. Musica Poetica Freiburg, dir. Hans Bergmann
