Rise up and let the light shine

This year's selection includes works by H. Schütz, J.H. Schein, J. Rosenmüller, and other composers who were active in Dresden and other parts of Germany. The religious music with German lyrics is very beautiful, and Heinrich Schütz is known as a composer who delicately expresses the connection between words and melody. He succeeded in creating music that confronts the human inner world through the use of emotionally rich harmony, sometimes with austere expression and sometimes with sweet, ecstatic scenery. Schütz's techniques were passed on to his pupils and had a profound influence on the development of German music. We will present their religious songs as well as high-quality works by composers active in the same period.
