Peet du Toit #6506801. Published by Peet du Toit (A0.802691). Michael Praetorius (probably 28 September 1571 – 15 February 1621) was a German composer, organist, and music theorist. He was one of the most versatile composers of his age, being particularly significant in the development of musical forms based on Protestant hymns.Praetorius was a prolific composer; his compositions show the influence of Italian composers and his younger contemporary Heinrich Schütz. His works include the 17 volumes of music published during his time as Kapellmeister to Duke Heinrich Julius of Wolfenbüttel, between 1605 and 1613. The most significant of these publications is the nine-part Musae Sioniae (1605–10), a collection of chorale and song arrangements for 2 to 16 voices. He wrote many other works for the Lutheran church; and Terpsichore, a compendium of more than 300 instrumental dances, which is both his most widely known work, and his sole surviving secular work.Many of Praetorius' choral compositions were scored for several smaller choirs situated in several locations in the church, in the style of the Venetian polychoral music of Gabrieli.Praetorius composed the familiar harmonization of Es ist ein Ros entsprungen (Lo, How a Rose E'er Blooming) in 1609.
