Clemens Thieme
Clemens Thieme (or Thiem, or Tieme) (September 7, 1631 in Grossdittmansdorf, Dresden – March 27, 1668 in Zeitz)[1] was a German Baroque composer. He was born in the area around the Dresden court and studied as a pupil of Philipp Stolle. When he was eleven, Heinrich Schütz arranged for him to serve as choirboy for the royal court in Copenhagen, Denmark.[2][3] After Thieme's voice broke, Schütz arranged for him to study and be a court musician in Dresden; in 1663, with the assistance of Schütz, he became a court instrumentalist in Saxe-Zeitz and eventually its Konzertmeister. While scholars know of about 100 works of his in both instrumental and choral genres, only 18 have survived.[4]
