Johann Friedrich Fasch (15 April 1688 – 5 December 1758) was a German violinist and composer. [NB: In spite of the several pictures mistaken listed in a Google search, there is no know image of Fasch.]
Singet!
"It appears that most of his vocal works (including 9 complete cantata cycles, at least 14 masses and four operas) are lost, while the instrumental works are mostly extant." New Grove Music Online, as qtd. in Wikipedia
Johann Friedrich Fasch awoke
Devotion in his Lutheran folk,
With Sunday service piety.
But Time and Fate saw fit to quash
The sacred works of J. F. Fasch
In all their weekly variety.
