Opis

This book surveys North German church music from the period of the best-known of J.S. Bach's immediate German predecessors, Dietrich Buxtehude (c.1637-1707). Webber places particular emphasis on composers whose work has suffered unjust neglect, and on the influence of contemporary Italian church music. As well as providing a detailed study of the music itself, the book also examines its religious and social background and aspects of performance practice.

Recenzje

His insights into the üben and Bokemeyer collections ... give us a fresh perspective on the German Baroque, and one looks forward to seeing more of this music made available in prtactical editions and realized in performance.
