Michael Henkel (1780 - 1851)[1][2] was a German composer and organist.
Life[edit]
In his youth, Henkel took lessons in violin, cello and music theory at Fulda. Later, he studied figured bass and organ with J.G. Vierling in Schmalkalden.
He was an episcopal court violinist in Fulda from 1800 until the secularization of the court in 1803. In 1804 he became the cantor at Fulda Cathedral, and later at the town parish church. From 1805 he held teaching positions in Fulda, and was singing master at the Gymnasium between 1816 and 1848.
Compositions[edit]
His compositions, numbering more than 200, include chamber music, organ pieces and songs; the most important of these are his chorale book for the Fulda diocese, published in 1804, and several volumes of songs for schools. Among his most well-known works is Le Coucou, for flute and guitar (or piano).[3]
