Composer
Heinrich Schütz
| 1585-1672Heinrich Schütz is regarded as the first German musician of European stature. As a choirboy from 1599 at the court of Landgrave Moritz of Hessen-Kassel, he received a thorough education. In 1608 he began a law degree in Marburg, but broke this off in 1609 in order, with the support of the Landgrave, to study composition with Giovanni Gabrieli, organist at St Mark’s in Venice. In 1613 Schütz returned to Kassel, but two years later was enticed away by Elector Johann Georg I of Saxony to the Dresden court as “Organist und Director der Musica”, where he held the position of Hofkapellmeister (court Kapellmeister) from 1617 until his death. Schütz’s great cycles of vocal works marked the high point of his reputation in Germany and northern Europe. But these represent only part of Schütz’s output; individual works are represented in printed collections with works by other composers, others only survive in manuscript, and much has been lost. The Stuttgart Schütz Edition makes available Schütz’s complete oeuvre, and all works are also published in practical Urtext editions. Personal details

Reviews
Heinrich Schütz: Aus den Cantiones sacrae Op
Heinrich Schütz: Aus den Cantiones sacrae Op.4, Nr. 4-8
In einer hervorragenden Neuausgabe liegen hier vier „Cantiones sacrae” von Heinrich Schütz vor („Quid commisisti”, „Ego sum tui plaga doloris”, „Ego enim inique egi”, „Quo, nate Die”, „Calicem salutaris accipiam”). Über die Qualität dieser einzigartigen Musik brauche ich hier nichts zu schreiben. Die Edition ist mit einer Generalbassaussetzung von Paul Horn versehen. Die Ausgabe ist sehr übersichtlich und hervorragend gedruckt. Für Chöre, die bereits Erfahrung mit Musik von Schütz haben, ein unbedingtes Muss!
