Jacob Rauscher
(Pirmasens, 9 December 1771 - Amsterdam, 7 January 1834)

Dutch composer, bandmaster and clarinetist of German descent. He was the son of a military music master and instrument maker from Pirmasens. In 1793, when he was almost 22 years old, he entered the Dutch service as a musician in Maastricht. In 1807 he was appointed bandmaster of the Regiment Garde Jagers band in Delft. In 1808 he was moved to the Royal Chapel at the court of Louis-Napoleon in Amsterdam and in 1815 he led the militia band. Finally, he left military service and joined the Hollandse Stad-Schouwburg. As a composer, and in addition to numerous military music, he composed, among others, cantatas, masses, and a concerto for basset horn.
