About Johann Ernst Rieck
Johann Ernst Rieck (1630-1704) was a German organist and composer. He succeeded his father in 1652 as organist at St Thomas's Church, Strasbourg, and appears to have had Christian Ernst, Prince of Bayreuth and Margrave of Brandenburg, as a student when Ernst was a student at the University of Strasbourg. In 1658 he published the collection "Neue Allemanden, Gigues, Balletten, Couranten, Sarabanden, un Cavotten", dedicated to Christian Ernst. The collection is divided into eight suites, each beginning with an allemande or ballet. Six of these suites are for three instruments; the rest are for four. The first suite begins in the manner of those of city musicians; the beginning of the allemande, courante and sarabande are all linked harmonically and melodically, but in other suites in the Rieck collection he includes arrangements of lute music by French lutenist Jean Mercure and German lutenists Johann Gumprecht and Valentin Strobel. Gumprecht and Strobel lived and worked in Strasbourg, so it is not surprising that Rieck used his music as a source for his arrangements. Rieck's arranging techniques were typical of 17th-century dance music. Some of his works appear in "Exercitium musicum", published by Balthasar Christoph Wust in Frankfurt-am-Mein, 1660.
