What did the term 'author' denote for Lutheran musicians in the
generations between Heinrich Schutz and Johann Sebastian Bach? As
part of the Musical Performance and Reception series, this book
examines attitudes to authorship as revealed in the production,
performance and reception of music in seventeenth-century German
lands. Analysing a wide array of archival, musical, philosophical
and theological texts, this study illuminates notions of creativity
in the period and the ways in which individuality was projected and
detected in printed and manuscript music. Its investigation of
musical ownership and regulation shows how composers appealed to
princely authority to protect their publications, and how town
councils sought to control the compositional efforts of their
church musicians. Interpreting authorship as a dialogue between
authority and individuality, this book uses an interdisciplinary
approach to explore changing attitudes to the self in the era
between Schutz and Bach.
