germanbaroqueearly baroque17th century
Andreas Gryphius (1616–1664) was a central figure of the German Baroque whose work played an important role in early German musical drama. Although not a composer, Gryphius wrote dramatic texts that were explicitly intended for performance in settings where music, song, and declamation were integral. His sacred dramas, especially Passion plays such as Olivetum, incorporate sung sections and were designed for musically informed performance within Lutheran school, courtly, and urban contexts. <a

Article
Andreas Gryphius (German: Andreas Greif; 2 October 1616 – 16 July 1664) was a German poet and playwright. With his eloquent sonnets, which contains "The Suffering, Frailty of Life and the World", he is considered one of the most important Baroque poets of the Germanosphere. He was one of the first improvers of the German language and German poetry.
Gryphius was born and raised in Glogau (Głogów), Duchy of Głogów, Silesia. At the age of 33, he married Rosina Deutschländer, with whom he had six children, Christian, Constantin, Anna Rosine, Theodor, Maria Elisabeth, and Daniel.
