about
Marcus Olter (c.1650) is a shadowy name from the North German keyboard tradition whose presence in music history rests on a single surviving piece, a “Canzon,” preserved through the celebrated Lüneburg organ tablature manuscript tradition (reported as Lüneburg, Stadtarchiv, Mus.ant.pract. KN 207.15, c.1650). Modern listeners most often encounter Olter through the afterlife of this one work: it has been edited in organ anthologies drawing on the Lüneburg sources and has appeared within curated surveys of early North German organ music on commercial recordings. Discography note: a confirmed label booklet exists for cpo 777 597–2 (Friedhelm Flamme; North German Baroque organ works), which provides a documented modern-recording context in which Olter’s repertoire is included.
