---


German composer. His early life and musical education remain unknown. The earliest known record of his career stated on 24 November 1731 he was appointed 'Director Musices' of the court chapel of Bentheim-Tecklenburg under Count Moritz Kasimir I in a post he likely held the rest of his life. Count Moritz Kasimir was a devoted patron of the arts and a skilled amateur musician, proficient in the violin, flute, and cello. He amassed a significant music collection that served as the primary repertoire for the court chapel. Among the works in this collection, 91 compositions are attributed to Dömming. Of these, only 32 have survived, including concertos, trios, three suites, an overture, and a single symphony, along with a few vocal works. The cantata 'Die Jagd' (1755) is his last known composition, as all biographical traces of Dömming are lost after this date. According to the original music sources, Dömming's works were composed at the two princely residences: Hohenlimburg and Rheda.
