"According to the dedication of his Musicalische Frühlings-Früchte (1668), Becker was born in Hamburg, and he has therefore been identified as the ‘Dirik’ Becker who was baptized in the Nikolaikirche there on 26 February 1623, but another source names him as the son of the organist Paul Becker from Wernigerode."
