about
Andreas Gleich (1625–1693) was a central-German organist and church musician whose career linked Erfurt, Dresden, and—above all—the city of Gera, where he served as Figuralkantor at the Latin school from 1648 until his death. Sources place him in a Schütz-adjacent lineage via study with Johann Kuhnau, and they also credit him with practical editorial work in Dresden on Heinrich Schütz’s Symphoniae sacrae II (1647). Alongside sacred vocal music preserved in seventeenth-century print transmission (including works dated 1651 in catalogue and edition records), he is associated with the didactic treatise Compendium Musicum Instrumentale (Jena, 1657), a rare window into the period’s practical musicianship and instruction.
