German composer. Son of Valentin Starck, almost nothing is known about
his early years. From 1737 to 1761 he was documented as a musician,
among others, in the Regiment von Welsch and "compositoris musicus" in
Mainz. From May 1764 he served as second Kapellmeister at the Court
Orchestra of Trier under Georg Friedrich Cron (1699-1768) but he was
promoted to his post in 1765. After the Cron's death, he officially
assumed the post of Hofkapellmeister. In 1768 Pietro Pompeo Sales
(1729-1797) was assigned to him as "fellow conductor". In 1737 he
married the singer Maria Eva Beschel (?-1759), daughter of the
schoolmaster Johann Adam Beschel in Alsterweiler. As a composer, he
mainly wrote sacred music, among them, a Miserere and several Masses. He
is not related with Johann Friedrich Stark (1680-1756).
