Synopsis

Product Description
Michael Praetorius was a hugely versatile German composer. His 1603 post as Kapellmeister in Wolfenbüttel necessitated extensive travel throughout Germany, enabling him to establish widespread acclaim as a conductor and musical advisor. Praetorius church music is much less known today than it should be, partly because of the sheer volume that
he composed. This beautiful selection of hymns, chorales and carols attempts to reproduce the effect of a performance under Praetorius direction.
