According to a remark made by Constantin Christian Dedekind, Gottfried Finckelthaus was not only a writer, but also a singer of songs. Starting from the less-known early pastorals, the present article tries to define the poet’s position in the civic, academic, and literary networks in Leipzig during the 1630s. Special attention is given to the adaptation of French song and dance melodies by poets in Central Germany, and the metrical innovations resulting from it.
Der Hamburger Organist Jacob Praetorius (1586-1651), Sohn des Hieronymus Praetorius und Schüler Jan Pieterszoon Sweelincks, genoß bei seinen Zeitgenossen hohen Ruhm als Spieler und Komponist. Wegen seiner profunden Kenntnis des Kontrapunkts wählte ihn Heinrich Schütz zum Lehrer für seinen Zögling Matthias Weckmann. Der Aufsatz versucht, anhand der überlieferten Orgelkompositionen die Stellung Praetorius' im Kontext der norddeutschen Orgelmusik zu bestimmen. Dabei werden besonders die Magnificat-Bearbeitungen, die 1964 in einer fragmentarischen Tabulaturhandschrift auf Schloß Clausholm (Dänemark) gefunden wurden, herangezogen. (Autor)
