jan 1, 1529 - "Nun komm, der Heiden Heiland" Luther
Description:
Following the Reformation, Luther desired to create a proper body of music for his movement. In doing so, he often took familiar, simple hymns and translated them into the people's vernacular. He also expected the congregation itself to be the ones making the music, as opposed to a separate ensemble.Added to timeline:
