Nikolaus Hasse
Nikolaus Hasse
Hasse remained in Lübeck until his death in 1640, and achieved considerable fame at the time as a teacher and performer. His son, Nikolaus Hasse, was among his pupils, and became a musician in his own right. Hasse's own surviving output is small, consisting of just three organ works and two choral works.
Nikolaus Hasse was born in Lübeck c. 1617. He was appointed organist of the Marienkirche, Rostock and held this post until 1671. He published Delitiae Musicae in 1642 which contains all his chamber music (21 suites). Much information about his life is not clear. He also composed some German songs and other occasional works. Hasse's other instrumental works consist of chorale preludes. He died at Rostock?8 March 1672.
