[2] The poet and dramatist David Elias Heidenreich worked in the Saxon courts as an official, and provided the libretti for a number of the Singspiel operas that Pohle composed.
[1] From 1678 to 1682 Pohle held the post of Kapellmeister at Zeitz, a role he shared with Heinrich Gottfried Kühnel.
In each one of these, in addition to biblical verse there is a strophic aria, for which Pohle set odes by David Elias Heidenreich.
Pohle's vocal works provide a link between Heinrich Schütz and Johann Sebastian Bach in the development of the Protestant cantata.
His preference for middle and lower voices, and above all his experimentation with form in his instrumental music, create a distinctive style which reveals itself despite the limited scope of his works.
(all lost; libretti mostly by David Elias Heidenreich) In the 21st century Pohle was suggested as one of three possible composers of the Kyrie–Gloria Mass for double choir, BWV Anh. 167.
