Karl (Carl) Ludwig Drobisch
(Leipzig, 24 December 1803 - Augsburg, 20 August 1854)
German composer, music theorist and church musician. He was born on 24 December 1803 in Leipzig to Karl Wilhelm Drobisch, a Leipzig city clerk, and his second wife, Renata Dorothee Wilhelmine Klotz. He was the younger brother of Moritz Wilhelm Drobisch (1802-1896). The father served as the boys' teacher from a young age, and they were able to read and write, as well as perform rudimentary mathematics, before they entered the Nikolai Primary School in Leipzig. Karl and Moritz enjoyed astronomy and together calculated lunar phases and planetary movement. Karl attended secondary school at the highly-esteemed Fürstenschule St. Augustin zu Grimma starting in 1817. He commenced studies at Leipzig University in 1821. It was here that he undertook the serious study of music theory under organist Johann Andreas Dröbs (1784-1825). In 1826 Drobisch wrote the oratorio 'Bonifazius, der Apostel der Deutschen', which was among the first of numerous German oratorios on the subject of Saint Boniface. The oratorio was not successful, and he traveled to Munich to study at the libraries there. He left Munich in 1837 and took the position of music director at the Church of St. Anne in Augsburg. He was not employed there long, soon resigning in order to entirely focus on composing. His son Eugen Theodor Drobisch (1839-1901) was also composer and kapellmeister. Karl Ludwig Drobisch died 20 August 1854 in Augsburg. #ClassicalMusic
