Christoph Naumann was born the son of Christoph Naumann (farmer in Stein, near Pegau). He enrolled at the Thomasschule in Leipzig on May 23, 1742; studied there from 1742 to 1750; and at Universität Leipzig from 1750 to 1756. As a Thomaner he was in Choir IV (in St. Peter's Church) 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 Pastor in Großstorkwitz from 1759. |
