Vital Historical Review of Significant Church Music History,
By rodboomboom (Dearborn, Michigan United States) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER)
This review is from: The Music of Early Lutheranism: Shaping the Tradition (1524-1672) (Paperback)
Luther and the Reformation were vital in God's continuing gift of music to the world. Look what came out of it, much documented in this fine work: the Bachs, Handel, Mendelssohn, Praetorius, et al.
Here, Christian musicologist and composer Schalk traces its beginings to restoration beginning with Luther himself and his Kantor, Johann Walter. From there he traces thread to fine contributors e.g. Rhau, Schein, Scheidt, and Schuetz. There are excellent documented references here for followup. What comes out of this fine read is that Lutherans chose to enlighten music content of Divine Service rather than limit what Roman Catholic church was doing, and even worse the ban which came from Calvinist/Zwinglian side. Fine work that is much needed. |
