---
German composer, active in the Netherlands. His relationship, if any, to
Johann Valentin Meder has not been established. About 1760 he settled
in Amsterdam, where he organized concerts, often working with Italian
singers. Several concerts included his own works, particularly his
cantatas and oratorios. He composed the cantata La contesa e la pace for
the marriage of Stadholder Willem V to Wilhelmina of Prussia in 1767,
and a symphony to be performed during their visit to Amsterdam the
following year. None of Meder's larger vocal works has survived, nor his
singing method Principes de musique pour le chant (1800). His
symphonies, however, are well written in a mature pre-Classical style.
