Johann Melchior Dreyer

Johann Melchior Dreyer (1746-1824) was a German composer and Organist born in Roettingen (Wuerttemberg). He was a celebrated church composer whos compositions for Organ all dated to 1790. Dreyer was an organist at the imperial church in Ellwangen who also was the first Kappellmeister as well as composer and teacher. Most of Dreyer's compositions were instrumental and vocal, symphonic and organized but simplistic.

Although this piece was originally composed for voice (Bass) and Organ, I created this arrangement for Bassoon & Acoustic Piano.
