Gottfried Reiche (1667-1734) was a prominent German trumpet player and composer, renowned for his role as the Senior Musician and Solo Trumpeter in Johann Sebastian Bach's orchestra. Born on February 5, 1667, in Weissenfels, Reiche's musical talents were evident from a young age, leading him to pursue a career in music. He eventually moved to Leipzig, where he became an integral part of the city's vibrant musical scene.

Reiche's association with Johann Sebastian Bach began when Bach was appointed as the Thomaskantor in Leipzig in 1723. As the principal trumpet player, Reiche played a crucial role in the performances of Bach's compositions, particularly his cantatas and other liturgical works. His exceptional skill on the trumpet made him a valuable asset to Bach's ensemble, and he was often called upon to perform demanding trumpet parts that showcased his virtuosity.

One of the most iconic representations of Reiche is the portrait painted by Elias Gottlob Haussmann, which depicts him holding a coiled trumpet and a sheet of music. This portrait, often referred to as "Gottfried Reiche 1667-1734 Senior Musician and Solo Trumpeter of Bach's Orchestra," is a testament to Reiche's esteemed position in the musical community of Leipzig. The sheet of music in the portrait is believed to be a fanfare composed by Reiche himself, further highlighting his contributions as a composer.

Reiche's legacy extends beyond his performances with Bach. He composed numerous fanfares and other trumpet pieces, many of which were used in civic and ceremonial contexts. His works are characterized by their technical demands and intricate melodic lines, reflecting the high level of skill required to perform them.

Gottfried Reiche passed away on October 6, 1734, but his influence on the Baroque trumpet repertoire and his contributions to the musical life of Leipzig remain significant. His collaboration with Bach and his portrayal in Haussmann's portrait continue to be celebrated by music historians and enthusiasts alike.
