Johannes Heer Songbook..

Descripción

The songbook of Johannes Heer from Glarus is one of the most important testimonies to the bourgeois musical culture of the early 16th Century in Switzerland and constitutes a key piece of the music collection of the Abbey Library of St. Gallen. The program compiled on this CD with 3 - and 4-part songs and instrumental pieces offers a representative selection from the repertoire of the manuscript, which comes alive in terms of its original context: what music did Johannes Heer make and listen to, which music could a learned but provincial cleric know shortly after 1500?
