Canzona tertii toni

Christian Erbach (1568-1635) was a German composer and organist. Erbach was born in Gau-Algesheim, Mainz-Bingen and began to study musical composition at a considerably young age. The history of Erbach's youth is unknown. Throughout most of his life, Erbach held the position of assistant or chief organist for the city of Augsburg. One may consider him a composer of reverence during his lifetime because many of his students, both Protestant and Roman Catholic, were attracted to his talent. The influence upon the music of Erbach was primarily Venetian notwithstanding the indubitable characteristics of Hans Leo Hassler within his keyboard works. Erbach died in Augsburg.
