Ich werde nicht sterben

SPUREN IV | Works by Heinrich Schütz, his pupils and successors Gabriel Mölich, Christoph Bernhard, Johann Theile, Andreas Hammerschmidt and others

Few composers of the 17th century shaped as many pupils as Heinrich Schütz. Working as Kapellmeisters and cantors, they carried his legacy into churches, schools and court chapels across the German lands. In the music of his successors, Schütz resonates far beyond his own lifetime.

Die lautten compagney, at home in 17th-century music for four decades, traces the stylistic journey of Schütz's pupils - from Mölich through Bernhard and Weckmann to Theile.
