Biography
Carl Friedrich Ernst Rudorff (1749–1796) was an 18th-century German organist and composer active in Göttingen, where he served as organist of the Johanniskirche. His surviving music consists mainly of keyboard and sacred vocal works written in a clear, expressive style typical of the transition from late Baroque to early Classicism. Though never widely famous, Rudorff represents the cultivated provincial musical life of Enlightenment-era Germany, closely linked to church, teaching, and the university milieu.
