Johann Friedrich Doles 
(Steinbach-Hallenberg, 23 April 1715 - Leipzig, 8 February 1797)

German composer and organist. In 1727 he entered the Thomasschule in Leipzig as a pupil of Johann Sebastian Bach, and in 1739 he matriculated in law at Leipzig University, where in March 1744 he performed a festival cantata in honor of the founding of the Gewandshaus musical establishment the prior year. He initially obtained a post as organist in Freiburg that same year, and in 1756 he succeeded Johann Gottlob Harrer as cantor of St. Thomas and leader of the Thomasschule in Leipzig. He retired in 1789. There he continued to create sacred music, collaborate with leading poets of the period on songs, and became acquainted with the leading composers of the period. A 1790 cantata, Ich komme vor dein Angesicht, to words by Christian Fürchtegott Gellert (1715–1769), was dedicated to Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Johann Gottlieb Naumann. His most important theoretical work is the Anfangsgründe zum Singen, which carried on the vocal performance traditions he learned from Bach, elaborated with his own notions of simplicity in sacred music. He was often criticized for his elaborate and modern settings that fully conformed to late 18th-century standards of large choral and orchestral forces, as well as elaborate and often virtuoso parts. His surviving music includes 160 cantatas, 35 motets, three Passions, two Te Deums, two Masses, and a German Magnificat; a Singspiel written in 1748 for the Peace of Wesphalia has been lost. He also published around 40 songs, many to texts by Gellert. Among his students is Franz Vollrath Buttstett.
