This title was first published in 2003. The secular song of the
17th century represents a relatively neglected area of German
culture. In this book, Anthony J. Harper first studies the songs of
the two great models of the time, Martin Opitz and Paul Fleming,
following this with an analysis of the song-books and collections
from three regions: the North-East, Central Germany, and the North.
The procedure is thus both historical and geographical. The texts
of these songs are examined in relation to structural principles,
thematic range and stylistic treatment. Harper establishes common
features and regional variations of this genre, which involves
love-poetry, songs of manners with colourful portrayals of everyday
life, and comic songs in a lower stylistic register. Particular
attention is paid to the work of Albert and Dach in Konigsberg,
Finckelthaus, Schirmer, Krieger and Schoch in Leipzig and Dresden,
and Rist, Voigtlander, Zesen, Greflinger and Stieler in the Hamburg
region. Where appropriate, the book assesses the role of musical
settings, while not seeking to offer technical insights into
musical matters. Of value to scholars of German literature, this
study should also be of interest to musicologists working on the
Renaissance and Baroque periods.

Christian Brehme (1613-1667) gilt als ein markanter Vertreter der
sog. Leipziger Studenten-Poeten, eines Freundeskreises, der sich in
den Jahren nach 1630, also mitten im Dreissigjahrigen Krieg, um
Paul Fleming sammelte und der fruhbarocken Dichtung in Deutschland
mit ihrer schaferlich-burschikosen Gesellschaftslyrik wichtige
Impulse gab. Mit Brehmes Gedichten eroffnen die -Deutschen
Neudrucke- eine Reihe von reprographischen Neu-Editionen aus diesem
Kreis. Der Band enthalt mit der Gedichtsammlung von 1637 und den
-Weltlichen Gedichten- von 1640 die wesentliche lyrische
Hinterlassenschaft des Autors, sowie eine monographische Abhandlung
des Herausgebers zu dessen Biographie und Gesamtwerk."
