░ ..;Release Notes;.. ░
░ We know mainly of Martin Luther as the ░
░ monk who, in 1517, tacked up his 95 ░
░ Theses to the front door of the Castle ░
░ Church of Wittenberg and touched off the ░
░ Protestant Reformation, an event that ░
░ would change the course of European ░
░ history and world religion forever. ░
░ Lesser known is Luther's contribution to ░
░ music, which on a strictly personal level ░
░ was rather limited, but in its extended ░
░ forms was gigantic. New faiths require ░
░ new music, and Luther certainly was not ░
░ interested in adopting the Latin, ░
░ chant-based heritage of the Roman church ░
░ to carry over into his German-language ░
░ services. Extensively trained in music ░
░ and a strong devotee to the music of ░
░ Josquin, it wasn't until 1523 that Luther ░
░ began to turn his attention to devising ░
░ music appropriate for use in the first ░
░ protestant churches. Luther's dictum ░
░ seems to have been "keep it simple, ░
░ stupid" -- composing or adapting ░
░ gracious, folk-like melodies set to ░
░ German texts derived from biblical ░
░ passages. These, and similar hymns by ░
░ others under Luther's watch, began ░
░ appearing in a growing number of ░
░ publications that were appearing at a ░
░ feverish pitch by the time Luther died in ░
░ 1546. The legacy of this enormous bulk of ░
░ hymn melodies continued to inform North ░
░ German protestant composers for centuries ░
░ afterward, most notably Johann Sebastian ░
░ Bach. ░
░ ░
░ In their Music of the Reformation, the ░
░ German period performance vocal group ░
░ Himlische Cantorey has discovered that, ░
░ in addition to the early, monophonic ░
░ hymns that bear the name of Luther or his ░
░ direct assistants, there are a number of ░
░ contemporary polyphonic arrangements ░
░ styled like motets in the manner of the ░
░ Josquin. Luther's own pieces are ░
░ performed in unison, but elaborations by ░
░ composers closely associated with Luther, ░
░ Johann Walter, and Caspar Othmayr are ░
░ heard in the balance. These are all ░
░ deeply moving and beautiful settings and ░
░ Himlische Cantorey does its best in ░
░ keeping the treatments simple -- there is ░
░ no more than a lute and small organ ░
░ accompaniment in use for the whole disc. ░
░ It is fascinating to hear how close early ░
░ Lutheran sacred music is to the popular ░
░ music of this era, having shaken loose ░
░ the shackles of chant and its modal ░
░ rhythm. One exception is Luther's setting ░
░ of "Durch Adam's Fall," which despite his ░
░ preference for avoiding the influence of ░
░ the Roman church, still carries a faint ░
░ echo of the sound of chant. ░
░ ░
░ Himlische Cantorey's Music of the ░
░ Reformation represents the modest hut on ░
░ which the Bachs, Schⁿtz, and the Lutheran ░
░ organ school built their massive ░
░ edifices. Enthusiasts of ░
░ middle-Renaissance music will find the ░
░ bare bones approach to polyphony of ░
░ Walter and Othmayr refreshing, and ░
░ listeners coming to Music of the ░
░ Reformation for added insight to the ░
░ early beginnings of Protestantism will ░
░ find far more in this than mere ░
░ historical value. Uncle Dave Lewis, All ░
