Johann Christian Gebauer (6 August 1808 – 24 January 1884) was a Danish composer, organist and music theorist. [1]
Background
[edit]Gebauer was born in Copenhagen, Denmark. His father was the painter, Christian David Gebauer (1777–1831). He lived with his paternal grandmother during his childhood in Christiansfeld where he received a strict and religious upbringing.[2]
Gebauer showed promise as a musician early on. He received his first formal training in music from German-born composer Friedrich Kuhlau. Later Royal Court composer Christoph Ernst Friedrich Weyse and still later composer Peter Casper Krossing taught Gebauer music, although Kuhlau remained the most influential. [1]
Music career
[edit]Gebauer took on teaching music after completing his formal training. In 1842, he became editor of "Sangfuglen", a compilation of the compositions of budding Danish composers. He was employed at the Royal Danish Academy of Music as a teacher in harmony from 1866-1883. In 1870, his collected songs were published and he received the title of professor in 1876.[3]
In 1846, he was given the job of the organist at St. Peter's Church, Copenhagen. From 1859, he held the position of organist at Church of the Holy Ghost, Copenhagen, a job he held until his death. [1]
Personal life
[edit]In 1844, he married Anna Kirstine Jensine Langgaard (1818-1876). He died at Frederiksberg in 1884 and was buried at Solbjerg.[4] [5]
