Bettina Varwig places the music of the celebrated Dresden composer
Heinrich Schutz in a richly detailed tapestry of cultural,
political, religious and intellectual contexts. Four key events in
Schutz's career - the 1617 Reformation centenary, the performance
of his Dafne in 1627, the 1636 funeral composition Musikalische
Exequien and the publication of his motet collection Geistliche
Chormusik (1648) - are used to explore his music's resonances with
broader historical themes, including the effects of the Thirty
Years' War, contemporary meanings of classical mythology, Lutheran
attitudes to death and the afterlife as well as shifting
conceptions of time and history in light of early modern scientific
advances. These original seventeenth-century circumstances are
treated in counterpoint with Schutz's fascinating later reinvention
in nineteenth- and twentieth-century German musical culture,
providing a new kind of musicological writing that interweaves
layers of historical inquiry from the seventeenth century to the
present day.
