Here we have the type of disc that fills in the cracks, a discovery of several unrecorded byways of Schutz’s miscellaneous secular oeuvre. Of course, the seventeenth century being what it is, secular and sacred are deliberately dovetailed into a cultural pea soup: these works – so different from the thoroughly Mediterranean Op. 1 Madrigals – are embedded in the literary morality of the age (how typical and reverently set is the text of Haus und Guter: “house and goods are inherited from one’s parents, but a pious and virtuous wife is from the Lord. He who finds a wife, he finds something good and receives blessings from the Lord”) and are not entirely profane.

Mogens Pedersøn was a pupil of Melchior Borchgrevinck, later royal kapellmeister, and in 1619 he became royal vice kapellmeister. His major work, Pratum Spirituale ("Spiritual Pasture"), was published in Copenhagen in 1620, containing 21 five-part hymns and a mass, three motets, and a number of responsories. The works directly reflect the church-musical requirements of the time, which made available in print some kind of offerings for ultimately all situations of Lutheran culture.

Dulichius composed 232 finely crafted and tonally beautiful motets. During his lifetime they circulated throughout Europe, but today they are hardly known at all. The present programme aims to offer a representative cross section of the composer’s oeuvre. He cultivated the style of contrapuntal stamp associated with Orlando di Lasso.

The Stralsund skyline with its brick church towers rises impressively above Strela Sound. While today this view can mainly be seen by those who approach Stralsund via the Rügen Bridge, the city has appeared in this way to arriving seafarers since the Middle Ages. As one of the Hanseatic cities lined up like pearls on southern Baltic Sea beaches, Stralsund had achieved a degree of economic prosperity as a member of the Hanseatic League since the 13th century. Closely networked with other Hanseatic cities such as Lübeck, Wismar and Rostock and governed by councillors and mayors from the upper class of merchants, the Hanseatic League not only guaranteed economic security but also facilitated cultural exchange.

In the 15th and 16th centuries, the alliance gradually disintegrated due to growing European competition. However, Stralsund remained a city of trade and Baltic exchange.

The richest transmission of printed wedding compositions comes from the prosperous Hanseatic cities. From this rich trove we have recorded for the first time a marvelous selection of interpretations by Manfred Cordes and his WESER RENAISSANCE ensemble: motets, sacred concertos, and ensemble songs, true to the motto: 'The wedded state originated in an ancient land; it was instituted in Paradise by God’s command'.

Following Desprez's mass Ave Maris Stella, Bremen under Manfred Cordes now turns to a selection of psalm settings by the same composer.- Josquin Desprez, not only one of the first but also one of the most influential among them, assumed the task of Latin psalm composition and like many after him chose psalms with a first-person perspective.

Moritz von Hessen-Kassel, ""Maurice the Learned"", ruled Hessen-Kassel from 1592-1627. He had a broad interest in the arts and sciences and felt urged toward artistic expression. In his own compositions he initially imitated Franco-Flemish composers with whom he had become acquainted. The art-loving landgrave also developed his taste from works dedicated to him by Praetorius, Schütz and others. The WESER-RENAISSANCE ensemble led by Manfred Cordes here present some of his sacred and secular works.

Tobias Michael succeeded Johann Hermann Schein as the Music Director at the St. Thomas School in Leipzig in 1631, and Sebastian Knüpfer was Michael’s successor in this post in 1657. Many different kinds of parallel developments occurred in the life stories of Schein and his direct successor Michael; the former exercised a model function in the latter’s music, and there were documented contacts involving collegial exchange. Michael’s extant oeuvre includes two volumes of motets and sacred concertos entitled Musicalische Seelenlust (1634-37), from which a selection is heard on this CD.
