Verschuer, Jakob Michael von 09/04/1987

Jakob Michael von Verschuer was born in 1987 in Elmarshausen/Wolfhagen, near Kassel, Germany. He began composing at the age of seven and later studied violin, piano and viola. He studied composition with Christian Gayed (2001-2002 in Rendsburg) and Thilo Jaques (2002-2007 in Hamburg). He has studied eurhythmics at the Alanus School in Alfter, near Bonn, since 2006.



He composes in a free tonal style. He uses varied expressive means to give his music an intensity as well as a clear form, developed out of different arcs of tension. Often forms a minimalist motive (for example, an interval) or another kind of musical idea the germination of an entire piece.



In his songs he composes closely along the mood of the words and phrases, without losing an overview of the whole. His instrumental music is marked by ambition in its musical development. www.verschuer-musik.de
