Engraving of Franck c. 1660, with punning caption in Latin "Michael Francus, born a freeman (francus) of Schleusingen in the year 1609 on March 16"
Michael Franck (16 March 1609 – 24 September 1667) was a German baker, teacher, poet, composer and Protestant hymnwriter. He was born in Schleusingen, and died in Coburg.
Franck initially established a career as a baker. Although he was fairly successful, "he became completely impoverished, because of nocturnal thefts and plunders of his house".[1] He moved to Coburg and began teaching. There, he also wrote hymns and poems.
Hymns[edit]
Franck's hymns have been incorporated into compositions by Johann Sebastian Bach and Georg Philipp Telemann.[2]
Franck's hymn "Ach wie flüchtig, ach wie nichtig" was the base for Bach's chorale cantata Ach wie flüchtig, ach wie nichtig, BWV 26.
