Johann Heinrich Rolle

Johann Heinrich Rolle (23 December 1716 - 29 December 1785) was a German baroque composer.[1][2][3]

Johann Heinrich Rolle

Rolle was born in Quedlinburg. His father was a musician in Magdeburg, and in his early years Rolle served there as an organist while studying law. In 1741 he became a chamber musician in the court of the Prussian King Frederick II, before returning to Magdeburg in 1746 to take up the position of organist at St John's Church. Rolle's father died in 1751, and Rolle succeeded him as music director at the Altstädtisches Gymnasium, a secondary school. He died in Magdeburg, aged 69.[4]

Rolle is remembered mainly for his oratorios.[5]

gollark: "You pick basically whatever, and we pay for it" isn't really a monopsony; people still have demand for each university, but the version of demand as "willing and able to pay for it" just becomes "willing to have it".
gollark: If the government throws piles of money at free education, you would, presumably, eventually get the majority of people going through university or something. Which would be nice, if it did not also cost a vast amount of money. And at the same time you dilute... whatever the degree is supposed to represent... and I don't really know what happens.
