Johann August Heye was born the son of Johann Christoph Heye (Stadtkantor in Quedlinburg). He enrolled at the Thomasschule in Leipzig on May 23, 1739; studied there from 1739 to 1745; at Universität Leipzig from 1745; and at Universität Jena from 1745. As a Thomaner he was in Choir I from May 17, 1744 (Pentecost) to June 6, 1745 (Pentecost). Although he attended the Thomasschule during J.S. Bach's tenure, it is not known if he actually studied with him. After his studies he worked as Stadtkantor (from 1747, as a substitute) and Schlosskantor from 1753 in Quedlinburg. |
