Talk:Lobt Gott, ihr Christen, alle gleich (Nikolaus Herman)
Composer/author names?
This site lists a Nikolaus Herman (c1480 - 1561) as the author (1554) of the text for this chorale and either Anonymous or the same Nikolaus Herman as the composer of the chorale (or its melody?)> Or is it possible that Johann Herman is the same as Johannes Hermann (or Herman)? So far, I've been unable to track down another source for this Johann Herman. – Chucktalk Giffen♫ 02:58, 25 August 2010 (UTC)
Wait! ... I just found Johann Nikolaus Herman (c1480 - 1561) given as the composer of this chorale in a program listing for "Christmas with the Renaissance Voices, 2005". It would seem that this is the full composer name? – Chucktalk Giffen♫ 03:08, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

- From de.wikipedia and from Allgemeine Deutsche Biographie, I conclude that the author (poet) of "Lobt Gott, ihr Christen, alle gleich" was a man best identified as Johann Hermann Senior, called "Johann Hermann (Kirchenlieddichter)" in the German Wikipedia; if he is to be associated with the name "Italus", as many think, he was born in Nördlingen and was a Lutheran theologian in Wittenberg 1548-1568. However, he is not to be confused with Johann Heermann (1585-1647) or Nikolaus Hermann (ca. 1500-1561) or Johann Hermann, Medical Doctor in Wittenberg (1527-1605).
- I think Nikolaus Herman to be the composer, as Bach-Cantatas.com says. — Barry Johnston (talk) 21:06, 11 February 2022 (UTC)
