Michael Praetorius

  • Michael Praetorius Christmas music given exceptional performances

    Nov 15th, 2021 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Baroque music, CD Review, choral music, Classical music, Holiday music, Michael Creed, Michael Praetorius, SWR Classics, SWR Vokalensemble

    Quick. Name a Michael Praetorius Christmas carol. OK, now name another besides “Lo, How a Rose Er Blooming.” There are several — as this release shows. Praetorius was a major contributor of music to the early Lutheran church. He published nine volumes of Musae Sioniae, collections of Lutheran chorales. And amongst this music were chorales […]

  • #ClassicsaDay #ClassicalBubble Week 3

    Jun 19th, 2020 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: #ClassicsaDay, Classical music, Dave Anderson, John Cage, Michael Praetorius, PDQ Bach, Twitter

    Last month, the Classics a Day team came up with a theme to reflect the reality of social distancing. The challenge was to share solo works for unusual instruments — the kind of instruments best played in social isolation.  For June, the team is again going with the times. Social bubbles are small groups of […]

  • Fresh Performances Enliven Praetorius Choral Concerts

    May 16th, 2018 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Baroque music, Capella Principale, Carus, CD Review, choral music, Gli Scarlattisti, Jochen Arnold, Michael Praetorius

    Would the Protestant Reformation have been as successful without the genius of Michael Praetorius? Fortunately, we’ll never know. Praetorius adopted the Lutheran principles of simplicity and clarity into his music. The result was an impressive — and impressively varied — the body of sacred music that’s still found in hymnals today. This release features settings […]

  • Praetorius Lutherische Choralkonzerte – Models of Christian Clarity

    Oct 23rd, 2017 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: CD Review, choral music, Classical music, CPO, early music, Manfred Cordes, Michael Praetorius, Weser-Renaissance Bremen

    This release is part of CPO’s “Music from Wolfenbüttel Castle” series. And in this case, it’s especially fitting. It was at Wolfenbüttel that Michael Praetorius served Henry Julius, Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg. Praetorius served as court organist and composer.  When Frederick Ulrich succeeded Julius, Praetorius remained. He was buried Wolfenbüttel. Julius and Ulrich were staunch Lutherans, […]

  • Piffaro Journeys Back Through Bach

    Aug 7th, 2017 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: CD Review, Classical music, early music, Heinrich Isaac, Johann Sebastian Bach, Johann Walther, Michael Praetorius, Navona Records, Piffaro

    Back Before Bach delivers on its promise. Piffaro surveys the music of 16th Century Germany, showing the foundation upon which Bach would build. Piffaro explores seven different themes. The tracks for each theme moves in chronological order. This makes it easy to hear how each tune develops. In some cases, also making the transition from […]
