Like a composer, Hesse’s music mainly included lieder. As an organist in Eutin he was appointed to the positioning of Kantor there, probably providing Prince-Bishop Adolph Friedrich who later on became the Ruler of Sweden. Selections of his lieder had been within the functions “Lieder und Melodien,” “Lieder zum unschuldigen Vernugen” and “Moralische Oden und Lieder.”
