jan 1, 1639 - Kleine geistliche Concerte

Description:

radically scaled down compositions with ascetic, often mournful texts for up to five solo voices with organ continuo. In these works, we see the beginnings of what would reach a remarkable climax in music of the next centuryL the deliberate cultivation of unpleasant sounds, sometimes downright ugly, in the name of God's truth.
