Nikolaus [Leonardus Wolfgangus] Betscher
(Berkheim, 31 October 1745 - Rot an der Rot, 18 November 1811)
German composer. He was educated at the Premonstratensian abbey of Rot an der Rot and later became a monk there, taking the name Nikolaus; in 1769 he was ordained priest. He served as abbot from 1789 until the dissolution of the abbey in the secularization of 1803. As a composer he was decisively influenced by Michael Haydn. His works are in the early Viennese Classical style and show him to have been accomplished in the forms and techniques of church music of his day; they are marked by a consistent use of sonata form, melodic inventiveness and originality of texture and instrumentation.

Bella missa e bravi l'orchestra, i solisti e il coro

Another hidden gem by a German who’s sadly forgotten his music warrants more attention than it gets. This is a soul soothing piece. Thank you Paul ❤️

Merveilleux et très original par rapport aux autres compositions, merci graciès Pau!

[@joachim590]

Another unknown composer who deserves to be discovered. His style is close to that of Michael Haydn, perhaps still a little less beautiful. thank you again, Pau Joachim

Never heard of this composer. Typical baroque. Johann Michael Haydn's pastoral music is more appealing. Anyway fine. Must hear more pieces pof this composer to make a wholesome assessment. Titus. Trivandrum. India

Em destaque as trompas e o clarinete (quase obligato).
