Adam of Fulda

Adam of Fulda (c. 1445 – 1505)[1] was a German composer and music theorist of the second half of the 15th century.

Adam of Fulda calls himself at times musicus ducalis (musician of the Court).

After leaving the monastery, he was a lecturer at the Wittenberg University in Torgau, where he was one of the scholars involved with Renaissance humanism.

He wrote "Ein ser andechtig Cristenlich Buchleī aus hailigē schrifften vnd Lerern von Adam von Fulda in teutsch reymenn gesetzt" (A very pious and Christian booklet from the Holy writings and studies by Adam of Fulda set in German rhymes), published in Wittenberg in 1512 (reprinted, Berlin, 1914).

[2] Ach hülf mich leid and other works by Adam of Fulda have been recorded by the German Renaissance-music vocal group "Stimmwerck".
