Musae Sioniae, siebender Theil - Praetorius, Michael

♪

"The seventh volume of Praetorius' series ''Musae Sioniae'', this book contains psalms and sacred songs in German for four voices, set in an accessible homophonic style. Most are composed or arranged by Praetorius on his own or regional melodies while several compositions by other composers are also included. Unlike the festally-specific chorales of Volume Six, this book contains songs suited to personal devotion and extra-congregational settings. At the end of the book, Praetorius includes four textless arrangements for organists. This book was reprinted by Michael Herrer of Hamburg in 1611."
