Johann G. Nageli (b. Wetzikon, near Zurich, Switzerland, 1773; d. Wetzikon, 1836) was an influential music educator who lectured throughout Germany and France. Influenced by Johann Pestalozzi, he published his theories of music education in Gangbildungslehre (1810), a book that made a strong impact on Lowell Mason. Nageli composed mainly" choral works, including settings of Goethe's poetry. He received his early instruction from his father, then in Zurich, where he concentrated on the music of. S. Bach. In Zurich, he also established a lending library and a publishing house, which published first editions of Beethoven’s piano sonatas and music by Bach, Handel, and Frescobaldi.

Texts

Erhebe zum Himmel, du feiernde Menge

Es glänzet der Christen inwendiges Leben

Es glänzet der christen inwendiges leben,
Obgleich sie von aussen die sonne verbrannt.
Was ihnen der König des himmels gegeben,
Ist keinem, als ihnen nur selber bekannt.
Was niemand verspüret.
Was neimand berühret,
Hat ihre erleuchtete sinne gezieret,
Und sie zu der göttlichen würde geführet.
