Johann Rosenmüller (1619 – 10 September 1684) was a German Baroque composer, who played a part in transmitting Italian musical styles to the north.
[1] To avoid prison, he fled to Italy and, by 1658, was employed at St Mark's Basilica in Venice.
[1] He composed many vocal works while teaching at an orphanage for girls (Ospedale della Pietà), between 1678 and 1682.
[citation needed] In his last years, Rosenmüller returned to Germany with Duke Anton-Ulrich of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, at whose court he served as choir master.
