From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Anna Teichmüller (11 May 1861 – 6 September 1940) [1] was a German composer and teacher [2] who set the works of many poets, especially Carl Hauptmann, [3] to music. She composed most of her works at the Schreiberhau artist colony. [4]

Teichmüller was born in Göttingen, the oldest child of Anna von Cramer and Gustav Teichmüller. The family lived in Tartu, Estonia, during her childhood, where Gustav was a university professor. After his wife's death in childbirth in 1862, Gustav married her sister Lina, and they had eight more children. [5]

Teichmüller studied music in Jena and Berlin. [6] She met Carl Hauptmann in Jena in 1893, and he persuaded her to move to the artist colony [7] in Schreiberhau (then in Prussia; today known as Szklarska Poręba, Poland), where she lived until the end of her life. [4] Hauptmann dedicated his book Aus meinem Tagebuch München (From My Munich Diary) to Teichmüller. [8]

Although Teichmüller was known as Hauptmann's "Liederbraut" (bride of song), she composed music for the works of many writers, ranging from opus 1 through at least opus 43. [9] The writers included Anton Alexander Graf von Auersperg (as Anastasius Grün), Ferdinand Avenarius, Hans Bethge, Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson, Marianne Blaauw, Grete Ziegler-Bock, Wolrad Eigenbrodt, Feodora, Princess of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Augustenburg (as F. Hugin), Friedrich Ludwig Konrad Fiedler, Friedrich Hebbel, Gottfried Keller, Nikolaus Lenau, Conrad Ferdinand Meyer, Hans Reisiger, Rainer Maria Rilke, Leopold von Schroeder, Paul Verlaine, and Friedl Zacharias. [10]

In addition to songs, Teichmüller composed chamber music and at least one opera. [11] Her music is published by Classical Vocal Reprints [12] and Hildegarde Publishing Company. [4] Her works include:

Chamber

  • Forest Night, opus 22 (voice, cello and piano) [9]
  • Hymn to the Night, opus 23 (soprano, baritone, cello and piano) [9]
  • Suite, opus 41 (violin and piano) [9]

Mass

  • Missa Poetica (text by Ilse von Stach) [4]
