Johann Gottlieb Janitsch compositions sheet music and chords

Johann Gottlieb Janitsch (19 June 1708 – 1762) was a German Baroque composer. Janitsch was born in Schweidnitz, Silesia (today Świdnica, Poland). His father was a local merchant and later a Royal Tobacco importer for Schweidnitz and Jauer (today Jawor). His mother was the daughter of a well respected surgeon. He received his first musical education at the Latin school of the Holy Trinity in his hometown. His special inclination towards music led him to undertake a brief period of study in Breslau (today Wrocław) with the court musicians who were under the employment of the Archbishop of Breslau. In 1729 his father sent him to Frankfurt an der Oder, where he studied law at the University of Frankfurt an der Oder until 1733. During this time he received his first commissions to write large scale musical works for festive occasions.
