Christian Friedrich Henrici (Picander) (Poet) Born: January 14, 1700 - Stolpen, near Dresden, Germany Died: May 10, 1764 - Leipzig, Germany Picander, the pseudonym of one of Bach's most important poets, Christian Friedrich Henrici, studied law at Wittenberg University. He began his career as a poet in Leipzig in 1721, at first with erotic poems and dramas. His relations with J.S. Bach were perhaps only casual at first. In 1725 Picander wrote the texts for J.S.

Both are printed in Picander's collection of shorter (and tamer) poems published in 1724-1725 as Sammlung erbau licher Gedancken. The volume was dedicated to Count Franz Anton Sporck, who was also in contact with J.S. Bach and may have acted as intermediary between poet and composer. Collaboration between Picander and J.S. Bach later intensified. All five volumes of Picander's Ernstschertzhaffte und satyrische Gedichte (Leipzig, 1727-51) contain texts set to music by J.S. Bach, including those for the St Matthew Passion (BWV 244) (and its associated funeral music for Prince Leopo1d of Anhalt-Cöthen) and the St Mark Passion (BWV 247). In the preface to the third volume (1732) Picander claimed that J.S.
