<p class="just">Crüger began studying theology in Wittenberg in 1620. In 1622, he became organist of the Nikolaikirche (St. Nikolai Church) in Berlin. He was a friend of <a href = "./hymns/hymns_bio/bio_g_e_gerhardt_p.html" >Paul Gerhardt</a>, and wrote melodies for many hymns by Gerhardt and others. Crüger composed sacred works for choral and instrumental performances, and was also a musicologist and wrote about the theory and practice of music. In 1640, Crüger edited a hymnal, titled (beginning with the 1647 edition) <em>Praxis Pietatis Melica</em>. His other works include:</p>
