Johann Rosenmüller compiled an impressive oeuvre of more than two hundred vocal and instrumental works. On the occasion of this composer's four hundredth birthday, the Ensemble 1684 is presenting a CD with a cross section of his music including the world-premiere recordings of four of his large-dimensioned concertos. Rosenmüller's post as a teacher at the St. Thomas School introduced him to an exciting musical and academic environment that greatly stimulated him. Very early he displayed his talent for absorbing artistic and cultural influences. The St. Thomas cantor Tobias Michael and the Dresden court music director Heinrich Schütz were of particular significance here. The new Italian concerto models with which Schütz had become acquainted during his second stay in Venice were above all a source of inspiration for Rosenmüller, who very soon also began experimenting with them. A masterful compositional craftsman and contrapuntist of Schützian stamp! Album Tracks 1. Nun Gibest Du, Gott, Einen Gnädigen Regen (Psalmkonzert) 2. Christus Ist Mein Leben (Geistliches Konzert) 3.

Vol. 6 of this complete recording presents what might be termed the opposite ends of the broad spectrum covered by Kuhnau's music, both in formal matters and in chronological respects. On the one hand, in InchIhr Himmel jubiliert von obenInch and InchLobet, ihr Himmel, den HerrnInch we have two magnificent Ascension cantatas for large ensembles from Kuhnau's late period as St. Thomas music director. On the other hand, InchBone Jesu, care JesuInch and InchLaudate pueri Dominum,Inch works of Italian stamp scored for chamber ensemble from Kuhnau's time as a St. Thomas organist with a wide range of activities, offer exemplary illustrations of the sacred concerto of the late seventeenth century. InchIch freue mich i'm HerrnInch for four concertists, choir, and strings occupies a middle position between these works and offers an interesting mixture consisting of the concerto-aria-cantata popular in the late seventeenth century and the rondo form and is borne musically by the affection of joy. Once again the Opella Musica ensemble of soloists founded by Gregor Meyer in 2011 and the historically oriented Camerata Lipsiensis orchestra interpret the cantatas on the basis of the recently published critical musicological edition. Album Tracks 1. Ihr Himmel, Jubiliert Von Oben (Cantata) 2. Bone Jesu 3. Ich Freue Mich Im Herrn 4. Laudate Pueri Dominum 5. Lobet, Ihr Himmel, Den Herrn
