German organist and composer. He was the son of a long-established
saddler family. Almost nothing is known about his life. He was mentioned
on his twenties when he assumed the post of organist and composer at
the court of Peter Philipp von Dernbach. In 1685 he left the court to
join the Münsterschwarzach monastery where he was ordained as a Pater
Marianus Baal on 12 June 1688. As a composer only few works has survived
and almost whole of them preserved in manuscript; during his life, only
a four set of motets, entitled 'Argumentum et inscriptiones ... opus
primum', were published. His most important surviving work is the 'Missa
tota' in A-Dur, which was praised and copied by Johann Sebastian Bach
(Kyrie) and Johann Gottfried Walther (Gloria, Credo, Sanctus, Agnus
Dei). There are also some motets for solo voice and figured bass based
on sacred poetry, as well as a violin sonata in a-Moll.
