---
Austrian physician and composer. Son of Johann Caspar Horn (1606-1671),
he practised as a physician, having completed his studies in Freiburg
about 1651. He later studied law in Leipzig, where he spent most of his
adult life. For at least nine years from 1663 he belonged to a
fraternity of musical amateurs led by Sebastian Knüpfer, Kantor of the
Thomaskirche. In 1680 he stayed briefly in Dresden. As a composer, he
wrote, among other, six monumental volumes of instrumental music
entitled 'Parergon musicum, oder musicalisches Neben-Werck (1663-1676)',
the collection 'Scherzende Musenlust, in allerhand Arien, Madrigale,
Canzonetten' (1673) and the cantata cycle 'Geistliche Harmonien über die
gewöhnlichen Evangelia' (c.1681). The Geistliche Harmonien, in the
style of the sacred concerto, was one of the last to be based entirely
on biblical texts and one of the first to require instruments in
addition to the continuo.
