Par SCHUTZ HEINRICH. In the midst of the Thirty Years’ War, Heinrich Schütz composed the “Musikalische Exequien” SWV 279–281, a unique funeral music that reflects questions about earthly suffering and the promise of eternal life. In this revised new edition, editor Beate Agnes Schmidt compares the only, albeit incomplete, surviving first edition with contemporary copies and the Spitta edition (Old Schütz Edition, Breitkopf, 1898) for the first time. The edition thus offers an extensive reconstruction of the original work. / Date parution : 2025-05-20/ Répertoire / Chœur Mixte et Piano
