Wolfgang Musculus (born Müslin or Mauslein; 10 September 1497 – 30 August 1563) was a
Reformation
.
Life
Born in the village of Duss (
Thirty Years War), Musculus was a lover of song and of knowledge, of languages, Humanism
and religion. The oral tradition of his songs is still found in the churches of the Reformation.
In 1527, he left the
biblical commentaries and Loci communes sacrae theologiae (Common Places of the Christian Religion), a major systematic theology.[1]
J. S. Bach used Musculus' 1530 hymn, a paraphrase of Psalm 23, as the text for his chorale cantata Der Herr ist mein getreuer Hirt, BWV 112, which he first performed in Leipzig in 1731.[2][3]
