Christoph Kittel

Christoph Kittel (born around 1620 - died Dresden, 1680, of the pest) was a German organist, music publisher.

With the publication of his "Arien und Cantaten" (texts by Opitz), Kaspar Kittel became the first German composer to use the Italian terms 'aria and cantata', by which he meant strophic variations.

His son Christoph (born 1620 or a little later, died of the pest in 1680) was appointed to the Dresden Hofkapelle as player of the lute.

Christoph only had two children: Anna Maria Kittel (Dresden 7.8.1648 - 6.9.1680 Colditz), buried on 7.
