Johann Valentin Görner
(Penig, 27 February 1702 - Hamburg, end of July 1762)

German composer. The brother of Johann Gottlieb Görner, he probably went to school in Dresden and completed his studies in Leipzig (his name is listed on the matriculation register of Leipzig University of 1722). After staying at various German courts he settled in Hamburg. This may possibly have been before 1729, for in that year two keyboard pieces by him (Passacaille and Trouble-Fête) were included in G.P. Telemann’s Der getreue Music-Meister (both pieces ed. D. Degen in HM, ix, 1949). From 1756 until his death he was director of music at Hamburg Cathedral. In 1742 the first part of his Sammlung neuer Oden und Lieder appeared in Hamburg, followed by the second part in 1744 and the third in 1752: these contain 70 companionable songs with pleasing, singable melodies (each part had several editions; the whole series is in DDT, lvii). The texts are by Friedrich von Hagedorn. In the foreword to the third part Görner wrote that he composed the pieces in the manner suggested by the titles and content, with an eye to the whole rather than to the individual expression of each ode: ‘The pleasing, the charming, the jesting, the trifling, the enamoured and the merry have been my theme in these melodies’. Goethe probably wrote his poems Erwache, Friederike (1771) and Hab' oft einen dumpfen düstern Sinn (1774) to the melodies Der Morgen (‘Uns lockt die Morgenröte’) and Der verliebte Bauer (‘Rühmt mir des Schulzens Tochter nicht’). A serenade for soloists, chorus and orchestra, Das Vergnügen, was performed in Hamburg in 1743, but caused a scandal on account of its text, by Johann Arnold Ebert. In 1747 Mattheson pronounced that Görner was ‘a thoroughly pleasing composer, skilful singer and player of the harpsichord’.
