about
David Schedlich (born 1607 in St. Joachimsthal; died November 11, 1687 in Nuremberg) was a German composer and organist. David Schedlich was born in 1607 as the son of the St. Joachimthal hospital master and later mayor Andreas Schedlich. His brother Jacob (1591–1669) was a student of Hans Leo Hassler, a well-known master organ builder and mayor of his hometown for 36 years. By marrying Johann Staden's daughter Magdalena in 1631, Schedlich was accepted into one of the most well-known Nuremberg families of musicians. From 1632 he worked as organist at the Nuremberg Frauenkirche and from 1634 at the Spitalkirche. In 1655 he succeeded his brother-in-law Theophil Staden as organist at St. Lawrence Church. He created various baroque compositions. His spiritual songs and funeral music attract particular attention. In addition, there were also some chamber music works.
