Michael Praetorius<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Michael Praetorius (born Michael Schultheiss c.28 September 1571) was a German composer, music theorist and organist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On music-scores we have an arrangement of Praetorius sheet music – Madrigale for a brass quartet<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Life and Career<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Praetorius studied theology at the University of Frankfurt an der Oder<\/a> before taking the position of organist of St. Marien Church in Frankfurt between 1587 and 1590. He then became the organist for Duke Heinrich Julius of Brunswick-Wolfenb\u00fcttel<\/a>. Following the death of the Duke in 1613 Praetorius retained his position but later combined this with kapellmeister at the court to John George I, Elector of Saxony<\/a> in Dresden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His exposure to Italian music during this time influenced the development of his own, resulting in his creation of a variety of music, his most popular being ‘Musae Sioniae’ (nine parts, 1605\u201310) and in the year of his death ‘Puericinium’.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He died at a relatively young age of forty-nine on 15 February 1621.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
