Louise Reichardt

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Louise Reichardt (11 April 1779 – 17 November 1826) was a German songwriter and composer.

She was born in Berlin. She was the daughter of composers Juliane Reichardt (1752–1783) and Johann Friedrich Reichardt (1752–1814) and granddaughter of Franz Benda (1709–1786), concert master at the court of Frederick the Great. After Juliane Reichardt died, the family moved from Berlin to Giebichenstein near Halle. Louise Reichardt took music lessons from her father, and in 1800 four of her songs were published in a collection of his songs. She taught singing, and in 1809 moved to Hamburg where she studied with Johann Frederich Clasing. Reichardt was active in Hamberg as a choral conductor and established a Gesangverein choral society in Hamberg. She also translated the Latin works of Hasse and Graun into German.^[1]^[2]
