Re: Sacred music for baroque lute

Dear Gary, I'm afraid I can't help you with the Laelius, but I may be able to help you with that Luther story. Have you checked the following? G. Rietschel, "Die Aufgabe der Orgel im Gottesdienste" (Leipzig, 1893) Brenet quotes this as a source detailing the use of lutes in place of organs in

Greetings all, I can't but help to jump into this conversation since my dissertation topic addresses this exact issue. Though I'm still in the beginning stages of my research on the context of Protestant lute music performance, I can add that a small tidbit. Paul Nettle's book "Luther and Musi

Re: Sacred music for baroque lute

I followed Gernot's advi ce and checked the Boston telephone directory and found one person, Eichorn (one H--but the other was a misspelling on my part). Anyway, Sciurus is Latin for squirrel. And I was wondering if our Johann Michael might have been named Eichhorn. Often German composers change

Re: Sacred music for baroque lute

The lute books seem to have been for personal use, Pater (later Abbot) Herman Kniebandl, for example. But there are sacred pieces in two of the books from Gruessau (Mss 2009?? and 2011 now in Warsaw). I imagine the use of secular music in the monasteries may have been "local option." The magnifi

The collection of Gellert's geistliche Oden may not exactly be sacred music in the strict sense. But those two Sciurus mss. in Cracow (one contains more than 200, the othere merely 8 chorales) certainly are. There is another ms in Berlin called Geistliche Musik auf die Laute gesetzt von Herrn Decke
