He came from a family of musicians and composers. His grandfather, Paul Jakob Bruhns (died 1655), worked as [[lutenist]] in [[Lübeck]]. His three sons all chose musical careers; Bruhns' father, also named Paul (~~1640–c~~1640–c. 1689), became organist at Schwabstedt, possibly after studying with [[Franz Tunder]]. Nicolaus was apparently a child prodigy: according to [[Ernst Ludwig Gerber]], he could play the organ and compose competent works for keyboard and voice already at an early age. He probably received his first music lessons from his father.<ref>{{cite web\|url= https://www.deutsche-biographie.de/pnd118674714.html \|title = Bruns, Nikolaus (Bruhns)\|website= Deutsche Biographie \|access-date=January 1, 2020}}</ref> Line 22 ⟶ 35: ===Vocal=== * ''Muss nicht der Mensch auf dieser Erden in stetem Streite sein'' * ''Ich habe Lust abzuscheiden'' * ''O werter heil'ger Geist'' * ''Hemmt eure Traenenflut'' Line 36 ⟶ 48: === Instrumental === {{listen\|image=none\|help=no\|header=Nikolaus Bruhns<br />Organ works\|type=music \|filename= Брунс - "Маленька" Прелюдія мі мінор.ogg \|title="Kleines" Praeludium in ge-Moll ▼ \|description= \|filename2 = Брунс - "Велика" Прелюдія мі мінор.ogg \|title2 = ''Großes Praeludium'' in E minor \|description2 = \|filename3 = Брунс - Адажіо ре мажор.ogg \|title3 = Adagio in D major \|description3 = performed by Yaroslav Kayuk, organ. }} ;Organ works "''Großes" Praeludium'' in ~~e-Moll~~E minor – [[Image:Sound-icon.png\|16px]] [http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/26/Bruhns-gro%C3%9Fes_Pr%C3%A4ludium-e.mid Example] ([[:Image:Bruhns-großes Präludium-e.mid\|info]]), [http://www.free-scores.com/download-sheet-music.php?pdf=158 sheet music] * "''Kleines" Praeludium'' in ~~e-Moll~~E minor – [[Image:Sound-icon.png\|16px]] [http://www.icking-music-archive.org/ByComposer/Bruhns.php Example and sheet music] * ~~Choralphantasie:~~Chorale ''Fantasy on "[[Nun Komm der Heiden Heiland'']]" * ''Praeludium'' in G~~-Dur~~ major * Fragment ~~eines~~of ''Praeludiums'' in D~~-Dur~~ major * ''Praeludium'' in G minor (also attributed to [[Arnold Brunckhorst\|Brunckhorst]]) ▲* Praeludium in g-Moll ==References== {{reflist}} == Other sources == * {{cite NewGrove2001\|~~article~~title=Bruhns, Nicolaus\|last=McLean\|first=Hugh J.\|~~vol~~volume=iv\|pages=~~492-493~~492–493}} : The most recent and concise summary of Bruhns' life and works available in English. * Webber, Geoffrey.
