September 29 - Vincent Lübeck (The Musical Birthday Series, 2nd Annual Cycle)

Vincent Lübeck (c. September 1654 – 9 February 1740) was a German organist and composer.  The date of Lübeck's birth is uncertain.

Home is Where...


The citizens of Padingbüttel

   Honor Lübeck’s name,

For he is tiny Padingbüttel’s

  Only claim to fame.


They named the town Gymnasium

  The Vincent Lübeck School,

And students hear ad nauseum

  That organ fugues are cool.


Oh little town of Padingbüttel,

  How still we see thee lie,

Give praise to your distinguished son,

  Your Padingbüttel guy!
