About the Authors

In considering the role of practical music in education this book explores the art of performance in Germany during the Baroque period. The author examines the large number of surviving treatises and instruction manuals used in the Lutheran schools during the period 1530-1800 and builds up a picture of the function and status of music in both school and church. This understanding of music as a functional art--musica practica--in turn gives us insight into contemporary performance of the sacred work of Praetorius, SchÜtz, Buxtehude or Bach.
- Considers how the sacred music of, e.g. J. S. Bach, Schütz, or Buxtehude might have been sung at the time they were composed
- Contains much important information for anyone concerned with historic performance and 'authenticity'
- Relates music to the intellectual context of the Baroque period, especially to theology and philosophy
