This German organist also played the violin and cornet. As a youth he was a choirboy at the Dresden Hofkapelle and between 1630 and 1631 he was an instrumentalist at the Hofkapelle. While serving in the Gustrow court Vierdanck was able to travel to Lubeck and Copenhagen and in 1635, until his death, he served as the organist at the Marienkirche in Straslund. Vocal music contained in his "Geistlicher Concerten," set between 1641 and 1643, were forty five pieces arranged for two to nine voices. Within this corpus are related sinfonias found in various places in the work with word painting and rare use of chorales. Vierdanck's "Erster Theil newer Pavanen," 1637, were set as suites for two violins and continuo arranged by key. They are historically important for being trio-sonata settings and for the insights they provide into the early history of suite composition. Vierdanck is considered to have composed the first German solo concerto contained in "Ander Theil. . .Capricci." It was scored for one cornet and three trombones. ~ Keith Johnson, Rovi
