Description:
The collection Polyhymnia Caduceatrix & Panegyrica of 1619 is rightly regarded as the high point in Michael Praetorius's output. It combines 'Solennische Friedt- und Frewden-Concert:' which Praetorius as a travelling musician had composed largely for festive occasions - he writes of 'Kayser: König: Chur: vnd Fürstlichen zusammen Kunfften' - and also for 'fürnehme Capellen vnd Kirchen'. In these chorale concerti the highly modern, Italian style and the Protestant chorale combine and form a symbiosis which showed the way forward for the history of German music. Even in the small-scale form of the chorale arrangement for two to three voices and basso continuo, Praetorius gives hints of the range of sound textures he is to use: the alternation between contrapuntal and homophonic styles of setting, duple and triple meter, and different dynamic. Nun lob, mein Seel, den Herren is available on the CD Praetorius: Gloria sei dir gesungen. Choralkonzerte (CV83482).
