Jakob Meiland (
Senftenberg, 1542-
Hechingen, 31 December 1577) was a German composer. His ''St. Matthew Passion'' follows the model of
Johann Walter's first Lutheran passion ''historia'' (c. 1530) but has more elaborate choral numbers.
[Howard E. Smither ''History of the Oratorio: Vol. 2: the Oratorio in the Baroque ...'' 2012 p.5 "This Passion by Walter was a model for numerous other sixteenth- and seventeenth-century works, including an anonymous St. Matthew Passion (attributed to Walter) in a manuscript of 1573 and the St. Matthew Passions by Jakob Meiland (1570), Samuel Besler (1611), and Melchior Vulpius (1613)"]
