Johann Georg Franz Braun

about

Johann Georg Franz Braun (* before 1630 in Ubthal , [1] † 1678 [2] in Eger ) was a German-Bohemian Catholic cantor, composer and hymn-book publisher. Johann Georg Franz Braun published the Latin spiritual choir book Odae sacrae in 1658 with his own compositions and arrangements. On the title page he is called "Chordirigent to St. Nicholas in Eger". 1664 was followed by the Marian Psalter, that is, the great and small days of the Virgin, and the virginal, virginal, and virginal Virgin Mary, besides other beautiful prayer-books , a devotional book for the local Marian Brotherhood , which was run by the Jesuits and belonged to Braun himself. As this song and prayer collection was quickly sold out, he gave it, greatly increased, 1675 as Echo Hymnodiae Coelestis, echoes of the heavenly sing-choir / that is / Old and new Catholic church songs / at the most distinguished times of the whole year / as well as the festival-day of the Garydeed mother of Jesus / and several other saints of God . [4] [5] Braun dedicated his publications to the council of the imperial city of Eger. One of the councilors was his father-in-law. That he belonged to the wealthy upper class of the city, also shows the representative house on the market square, which he lived from 1659 until his death. His economic livelihood was probably not church music, perhaps a trading company. His songbooks were replaced in 1701 by the published in Eger Hymnodia catholica.
