Christian Ludwig Brau
Christian Ludwig Brau (1746–1777) was a Moravian teacher and composer.
Born in Drammen, Norway, and educated in Moravian schools in the Netherlands and Germany, Brau wanted to become a missionary to the West Indies, but found his health was poor enough that he was unable to travel. Brau chose to use his musical talents to teach young children at several Moravian schools in Gnadau, Ziest, and others. In 1776 his health took a turn for the worse, which forced him to stop teaching. Brau traveled to Barby, Germany to heal. He died there on February 17, 1777, at 31 years old.[1] [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]
