Anton Colander

Anton Colander (1590, Weißenfels – 1621, Dresden) was a German (Electoral Saxon) composer and organist.

He was a childhood friend of Heinrich Schütz, studying law in Leipzig with Schütz's brother Benjamin from 1610.

In 1616 he was appointed to the post of organist at the Dresden court and began taking composition classes with Schütz. He was followed as organist by Johann Klemm, Kaspar Kittel, and Matthias Weckmann.[1]

gollark: Markdown is a horrible mess compatibility-wise because the original wasn't really standardized at all, so implementations were just based off a buggy Perl program, and *now* we have standards but there are a ton of different ones with mutual incompatibilities, and some applications randomly have or don't have some features.

gollark: Nope!
