Christoph Gottlieb Schroter (circa 1740–1808) was a German composer, conductor, and music educator, notable for his contributions to early classical music. He was primarily active in the late 18th century and is often associated with the transition from the late Baroque to the early Classical style. Schroter's genre primarily encompassed sacred and secular choral music, orchestral works, and operas. His notable works include the oratorio "Die Auferstehung" (The Resurrection) and various cantatas, which reflect the influence of both the Baroque tradition and emerging Classical sensibilities. He also composed several symphonies and chamber music pieces, further showcasing his versatility. As a conductor, Schroter played a significant role in the development of musical institutions in Germany, particularly in the city of Göttingen, where he was active in promoting music education. His emphasis on choral and orchestral performance helped lay the groundwork for future developments in German music, influencing contemporaries and later composers. While not as widely recognized today, his contributions to the choral and orchestral repertoire were important in shaping the musical landscape of his time.
