Description:
When it comes to paying tribute to Heinrich Schütz's compositional achievement, in his art his treatment of the text and language must be mentioned first. The 'Geistliche Chor-Music 1648', a collection of 29 motets for five to seven voices and one of his most important works, is characterized by the carefully thought-out musical realization of the meaning of the text. In his detailed foreword to the collection the composer presented these as models for composition without a basso continuo - it was his conviction that every young composer should obtain 'the proper foundation for a good counterpoint.' Despite the strict counterpoint, stylistically speaking from an earlier era, the 'Musicus poeticus' imbued his works with a strongly expressive character. The individual motets are structured differently and they differ - according to content - in their length and character.In addition to the clothbound edition of the Stuttart Schütz Edition (Carus 20.912) the volume is now also available in a paperback edition. Separate editions available.
