Johann Kasper Müller [Muller]
(1743 - Freiburg?, 1804)
German composer. Nothing is known of his life and career. He was
probably active as a composer in Freiburg im Breisgau. He presumably
served as a parochial organist or Kapellmeister, contributing functional
sacred repertoire to the Catholic liturgical traditions of southwestern
Germany. While much of his output remains lost, his legacy rests upon a
recently recovered collection of Vesperae ex C. This extant manuscript
offers insight into regional sacred composition, demonstrating a
conservative yet refined adherence to late 18th Century choral
counterpoint and homophonic textures characteristic of the southern
German church style.
