Vincent Lübeck was born in 1654 – probably in Padingbüttel, in the vicinity of Bremerhaven, Germany – as the youngest child of the eponymous organist. Lübeck’s father evidently died that same year, and the boy received organ instruction from his stepfather Caspar Förckelrath – the only teacher he ever had. Förckelrath, like the young Vincent’s father, held the position of organist at St. Marien’s in Flensburg until his deathin 1683.
In 1674, when Vincent Lübeck was 20 years old, he was appointed organist at St. Cosmae in Stade, where he quickly became an acknowledged teacher and authority on the organ. In this latter capacity he came in contact with the most important organ builder of the time, Arp Schnitger (1648–1719). During the following decades, the acquaintanceship developed into a close friendship. In a letter to an official in Zwolle, Lübeck later reports having inspected circa twenty Schnitger organs1, including important ones such as that in St. Nicolai (1687)2 or St. Jacobi (1693)3 in Hamburg. “Lübeck and Schnitger had such a trusted relationship that Lübeck was evidently authorized to accept payments in Schnitger’s name.”4 Schnitger himself was very pleased with Lübeck’s judgement as an organ authority.5 In 1702, Vincent Lübeck became the organist at the St. Nicolai church in Hamburg, whose Schnitger organ he had once inspected. With 67 stops, four manuals and pedal, this organ was the largest in Hamburg – as well as in the rest of the world. It was destroyed by a fire in 1842. Lübeck remained at this post until his retirement in 1734; his son, Vincent Lübeck Jr. (1684–1755) succeeded him after his death in 1740. oehmsclassics
