Biography
According to recent reports, Tunder was born in Lübeck, and not in or on the island of Fehmarn , as suggested by early explorers. Almost nothing is known about his childhood, except that at the age of 18 he had enough talent to get the post of court organist with Frederick III in Gottorp . A few years earlier, he had traveled to Italy . According to Johann Matteson , in Florence, Tunder took lessons from Frescobaldi (this statement is now disputed).
In 1632 - 1641 , Tunder served as a court organist in Gottorp. In 1641 he was appointed chief organist of the Church of St. Mary in Lübeck , replacing Peter Hasse in this position, and in 1647 he became still the headman and treasurer . Tunder held these posts until his death. His successor was Dietrich Buxtehude (married in 1668 to the daughter of Tunder Anna Margarita).
In 1646 , Tunder laid the tradition of in Lübeck - free evening concerts dedicated to the holidays of the church year (the most exquisite was the Christmas concert), which lasted until 1810 [1] .
Creativity
Tunder, along with Heinrich Scheidemann and Matthias Weckmann , is a representative of the North German organ school .
Tunder’s organ works indicate that he preferred a choral fantasy, although choral preludes, such as Jesus Christus unser Heiland , notable for his solo pedals (one of the first in organ works), are preserved, later developed by Buxtehude [2] .
He also wrote vocal works: motets , choral cantatas, spiritual arias .
