Ed Myskowski wrote (December 19, 2008:On the FM airwaves tonight, behind dinner, I heard a work (suite, I believe) by Johann Rosenmüller (1619-1684), a composer I was not familiar with. So unfamiliar, I had to phone the station (they had already lost track of his name), then search the available Kings Noyes CDs. Bingo. A quick search in the BCW archives: no fooling those guys, there he is. An additional item of interest (to me), from Grove Concise Encyclpedia: <Finally [after 1682] he returned to Germany as court Kappelmeister at Wolffenbuttel. A prolific composer, he was important in transmitting Italian styles to Germany, where his music was especially popular.> [end quote] Bach and Rosenmüller, the Italian source? |

Thérèse Hanquet wrote (December 22, 2008):[To Ed Myskowski] I thought of your comment about Rosenmüller when viewing Aryeh's post about Bach and other composers. It reminded me that one of the last cantatas we performed (BWV 27) includes a chorus by Rosenmüller: "Welt, ade! ich bin dein müde" This would indicate that Bach appreciated his work... |
