Josef Antonín Sehling

Josef Antonín Sehling (also Seeling, Seling, Sölling; 7 January 1710 – 19 September 1756) was a Bohemian composer and violinist of the baroque period.

From an early age, he received music lessons from the local cantor, and later completed his education in Prague and Vienna.

From 1737, he was second violinist in the Orchestra of St. Vitus Cathedral, and around the same time, he worked as a court musician and composer for Count Morzin at his palace in Prague.

Sehling was a very prolific composer of sacred music, namely arias, masses, requiems, motets and offertoria.

Manuscript copies of his works are scattered throughout libraries, among others, in Nymburk, Roudnice nad Labem, Broumov, St. Vitus Cathedral, and in the monastery of the elizabethans.
