Informationen zum Autor Gregory S. Johnston is Associate Professor of Musicology at the University of Toronto. Klappentext Heinrich Schutz (1585-1672) was the most important and influential German composer of the seventeenth century. Director of music at the electoral Saxon court in Dresden, he was lauded by his German contemporaries as "the father of our modern music," as "the Orpheus of our time." Yet despite the esteem in which his music is still held today, Schutz himself and the rich cultural environment in which he lived continue to be little known or understood beyond the linguistic borders of his native Germany. Zusammenfassung Heinrich Schütz (1585-1672) was the most important and influential German composer of the seventeenth century. In A Heinrich Schütz Reader, the composer and his times are brought to life through the translation of more than 150 documents by or about the composer, each complemented with richly detailed annotations and commentary.
