Philipp Friedrich Böddecker [Boedecker, Bedeckher]
(Hagenau, bap. 5 August 1607 - Stuttgart, 8 October 1683)

German composer, organist and bassoonist. He was born in a large family of musicians and received early musical education from his father, Joachim Böddecker, and then from Johann Ulrich Steigleder in Stuttgart. In 1626 he became organist and singing teacher in Buchsweiler and in 1629 he was bassoonist and organist at the Landgrave's court in Darmstadt. In 1638 he became organist of the Barfüsserkirche at Frankfurt and in 1642 he assumed the same post at the Strasbourg cathedral. Also there, he held a post of director of music and organist of the university. From 1652 he was organist of the collegiate church at Stuttgart in a position he held the rest of his life. As a composer, he was mainly known by his collection Sacra partitura (Strasbourg, 1651) where he included eight sacred songs and two violin sonatas (probably the earliest German examples of the genre). His son, the organist and composer Philipp Jakob Böddecker (1642-1707), succeeded him as organist in Stuttgart on April 25, 1686.
