'''Leipziger Universitätsmusik''' means music at the [[University of Leipzig]], and its present its musical ensembles, formed by students and professors, and supported by professional musicians. Music at the university dates back to the founding of the university in the 15th century. The current ensembles are a choir, an orchestra, two smaller instrumental ensembles and a big band.
== History ==
In 1410, the artistic faculty offered lectures on the ''Musica speculativa secundum Boethium'' written by [[Johannes de Muris]] in 1323, which were required for academic degrees baccalauréat and magister, alongside arithmetic, geometry and astronomy, in the medieval [[Quadrivium]].
In 1558, music education was discontinued in favour of physics, but new courses were offered for the training of musicians by the cantors of the [[Thomaskirche]] and [[Nikolaikirche, Leipzig|Nikolaikirche]]. University music was then mostly church music. Its first dierector at the university church [[Paulinerkirche, Leipzig|Paulinerkirche]], with the title "director musices Paulini" (''), was [[Werner Fabricius]] in 1656.
In the 17th century, instrumental ensembles by students were formed. [[Georg Philipp Telemann]], then a law student, founded the [[collegium musicum]] in 1701, which was later directed by [[Johann Sebastian Bach]]. A second collegium musicum was founded in 1708 by [[Johann Friedrich Fasch]], also a law student. It was later conducted by [[Johann Gottlieb Görner]]. In 1979, [[Max Pommer]] founded the [[Neues Bachisches Collegium Musicum]] in this tradition. Lectures in music theory were held by [[Lorenz Christoph Mizler]], while statt.
In 1802, the ''[[Leipziger Singakademie]]'' was founded, which was conducted by the Universitätsmusikdirektor from 1910 to 1848. They regularly performed [[oratorio]]s. Choirs at the university included the 1822 ''Pauliner-Verein'' (from 1919: ''Universitäts-Sängerschaft St. Pauli''), the 1850 ''Riedelverein'' and ''Bachverein'', and the 1852 ''Studentengesangverein Arion'' (from 1907: Sängerschaft Arion).
After World War II, Friedrich Rabenschlag continued work with the ''Universitätschor'', the ''Universitätskantorei'' and the chamber orchester in 1946. Horst Förster founded a collegium musicum in 1956, later called [[Akademisches Orchester Leipzig|Akademisches Orchester]]. [[Hans Grüß]] founded a group at the museum for musical instruments in 1957, the Capella fidicinia, specialised on [[Early musik]].
In 1968, the home of Leipzig's university music, the Paulinerkirche, was destroyed by the GDR regime. After [[German reunification]], the present ''Leipziger Universitätsmusik'' was formed from 1992. Universitätsmusikdirektor [[Wolfgang Unger]] founded several ensembles. He was succeded by [[David Timm]].
