Herman Friedrich Voltmar

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Herman Friedrich Voltmar (1707 – May 6, 1782) was a German-born Danish composer.

The eldest son of the oboist Johan Voltmar, the family moved to Denmark around 1711. His 3 brothers Johan Foltmar, Christian Ulrik Foltmar and Christoffer Foltmar were also well known.

At a young age was employed by the Crown prince and later Christian VI In 1738 as a musician in the Royal Chapel. In addition to his permanent salary he received some extra pay, which suggests that he also has served as soloist in more private contexts at court. In addition to his work as a musician, he composed and wrote poetry. At the weeding of the Crown Prince (later King Frederik V) Voltmar wrote a large epic in German.

In 1770, at 63-years-old he was dismissed from the Royal Chapel.
