About Michael Österreich
Michael Österreich (1658-after 1709) was a German composer of the Baroque era. He was the elder brother of Georg Österreich, and not a professional composer, but in the military administration. However, he had enjoyed a thorough musical education as he had been a boy chorister at the St Thomas's Church in Leipzig. Ich habe einen guten Kampf gekämpfet is a setting of the verses 7 and 8 from Paul's second letter to Timothy: "I have fought a good fight; I have finished my course. I have kept the faith. Henceforth the crown of righteousness is laid aside for me, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will give to me on that day. Not to me alone but also to all those who love his appearance". This piece is scored for three voices - alto, tenor and bass - and a small ensemble of violin, two violas and basso continuo.
