About Augustin Pfleger

Augustin Pfleger (c.1635–after 23 July 1686) was a German-Bohemian Baroque composer whose career moved through a chain of north-European courts. Born at Schlackenwerth (now Ostrov), he worked there as a court musician before serving the Duke of Mecklenburg at Güstrow (from 1662) and then the Schleswig-Holstein court at Gottorf, where he held the post of Kapellmeister from 1665. His music is best known today through the survival of his sacred vocal works—documented in library and manuscript catalogues such as RISM—and through a handful of seventeenth-century publications, including Psalmi, dialogi et motettae (Hamburg, 1661) and Odae concertantes (Kiel, 1666).
