Biography

Pfleger was born in Schlackenwerth, Bohemia, where he became Kapellmeister and dedicated his Opus 1 to the Duke of Saxe-Lauenburg. In 1662 he went to Güstrow as vice-Kapellmeister to Duke Gustav Adolph of Mecklenburg and in 1665 he was appointed Kapellmeister to the Schleswig-Holstein court at Gottorf, where he was succeeded by Johann Theile in 1673. A ms. cycle of 72 German cantatas for the church year is dedicated to the Flensburg city council. In 1686 he returned to the court at Schlackenwerth and vanishes from the record. Many of his works are lively recounters of Biblical scenes.
