Biography
Cyriacus Wilche or Cyriakus Wilcke (ca.1620 - 26 April 1667 in Jena) was a German composer of the Baroque period.
Background
Cyriacus Wilche worked as a musician at the court of Weimar until 1662. From 1662 until his death in 1667, he was employed as a musician in Jena. The godfather of one of his children was Bernhard II, Duke of Saxe-Jena.
He is best known today for his Battalia for 2 violins, 3 violas and continuo. Possibly his only surviving work, it has survived in manuscript form as part of the Rost Codex.
Wilche was possibly the grandfather of Anna Magdalena Bach, the second wife of Johann Sebastian Bach.
