Johann Gabriel Meder
(Zimmernsupra, 27 July 1729 - Amsterdam, bur. 3 Dec 1800)

German composer, active in the Netherlands. His relationship, if any, to Johann Valentin Meder has not been established. About 1760 he settled in Amsterdam, where he organized concerts, often working with Italian singers. Several concerts included his own works, particularly his cantatas and oratorios. He composed the cantata La contesa e la pace for the marriage of Stadholder Willem V to Wilhelmina of Prussia in 1767, and a symphony to be performed during their visit to Amsterdam the following year. None of Meder's larger vocal works has survived, nor his singing method Principes de musique pour le chant (1800). His symphonies, however, are well written in a mature pre-Classical style. #ClassicalMusic
