sung by the BBC Midland Chorus Conductor, John Lowe
Heinrich Schutz is gradually becoming recognised as something more than a mere ' predecessor of Bach.' Born in 1585 (exactly one hundred years before both Bach and Handel) he belongs to the period that bridges the gap between their age and that of Palestrina. Yet he is in no sense a purely transitional figure: a comparison of his short setting of the first three verses of Psalm 149 ' Cantate Domino' with Bach's full-scale setting of the same Psalm, reveals Schutz as a composer with an individuality of his own, and with a claim to be reckoned among the great.
