German singer, composer and theorist. As a founder-member with Lorenz
Mizler of the Leipzig Correspondierende Societät der Musicalischen
Wissenschaften, he was accorded a detailed necrology in Mizler’s Neu
eröffnete musicalische Bibliothek, iv (1745). This states that he was
born near Bayreuth in Berneck, where his father served as Kantor before
moving to Naila as a manager of mines. At ten, on the death of his
father, Bümler was sent to Münchberg to become a student in the
Lateinschule. When he was about 13 he joined the Bayreuth court as a
chamber discantist, where he studied singing and keyboard instruments
with Ruggiero Fedeli. During the next two decades his exceptional talent
as a singer made possible an extensive career at Wolfenbüttel, Hamburg,
Berlin, and back again at Bayreuth. In 1698 he was appointed chamber
musician and solo alto at the court of Ansbach, where in 1717 he
succeeded Johann Christian Rau as Kapellmeister. In May 1722 he
accompanied his first wife, the singer Dorothea Constantia Bauer, to
Italy, but they were required to return to court in February 1723 for
the funeral of Margrave Georg Friedrich. Following his release from
court duties, he was briefly Kapellmeister to Queen Eberhardine of
Poland and Saxony at Pretsch, but for unknown reasons left for Hof
(Saale). In 1726 he regained his post as Kapellmeister at Ansbach. His
wife died in 1728 and he married the singer Sabina Sophia Schneider in
1729.
