Dieterich Buxtehude /ˈdi:tǝʁɪç bukstǝˈhuːdǝ/ (also Dietrich, Danish Diderich/ˈdidǝʁɪk buksdǝˈhuːðǝ/, equivalent to the modern Diderik) (c. 1637 – 9 May 1707) was a German-Danish organist and a highly regarded composer of the Baroque period. His organ works comprise a central part of the standard organ repertoire and are frequently performed at recitals and church services. He wrote in a wide variety of vocal and instrumental idioms, and his style strongly influenced many composers, including Johann Sebastian Bach. Buxtehude, along with Heinrich Schütz, is considered today to be one of the most important German composers of the mid-Baroque. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dieterich_Buxtehude
