Life
Early years in Denmark
He is thought to have been born with the name Diderich Buxtehude. Scholars dispute both the year and country of his birth, although most now accept it taking place in 1637, in Helsingborg, Skåne, at the time part of Denmark. His obituary stated that «he recognized Denmark as his native country, whence he came to our region; he lived about 70 years.» Others, however, claim that he was born at Bad Oldesloe in the Duchy of Holstein, (now Germany), which at that time was a part of the Danish Monarchy. Later in his life, he Germanized his name and began signing documents as Dieterich Buxtehude.
Lübeck: Marienkirche
He was an organist, first in Helsingborg (1657-1658), then at Elsinore (Helsingør) (1660-1668), and then from 1668 at the Marienkirche in Lübeck. His post in the free Imperial city of Lübeck afforded him considerable latitude in his musical career and his autonomy was a model for the careers of later Baroque masters such as George Frideric Handel, Johann Mattheson, Georg Philipp Telemann, and Johann Sebastian Bach. In 1673, he organized a series of evening musical performances known as «Abendmusik,» which attracted musicians from diverse parts and remained a feature of the church until 1810. In 1703, Handel and Mattheson both traveled to meet Buxtehude. Buxtehude was old, and ready to retire, by the time he met them. He offered his position in Lübeck to Handel and Mattheson but stipulated that the organist who ascended to it must marry his eldest daughter, Anna Margareta. Both Handel and Mattheson turned the offer down and left the day after their arrival. In 1705, Bach traveled 220 miles on foot from Arnstadt staying nearly three months to hear the Abendmusik, meet the preeminent Lübeck organist, hear him play, and as Bach explained, «to comprehend one thing and another about his art.»
