Simone Stella plays Choral Partitas for organ on "Gelobet seist du, Jesu Christ" by Georg Böhm (1661 - 1733)

Georg Böhm (2 September 1661 -- 18 May 1733) was a German Baroque organist and composer. He is notable for his development of the chorale partita and for his influence on the young J. S. Bach.

Böhm was born in 1661 in Hohenkirchen, Thuringia, Germany. His father, an organist in Hohenkirchen, was his first music teacher. Böhm studied at the university in Jena.

In 1693 he settled in Hamburg, which was an important music center and one receptive to Italian music, thanks to the Hamburg Opera. Böhm worked in Hamburg for some years and, it is thought, studied there with the celebrated organist Johann Adam Reincken.

Böhm later moved to Lüneburg, a town where French music was prized and played. In 1698 he became the organist in residence at the Johanneskirche (Church of St. John) in Lüneburg, a position he held until his death in 1733.
