Cruger, Johannes
Steven G. Estrella offers information about the works of the German composer Johannes Cruger (1598-1662). The information is provided as part of Dr. Estrella's Incredibly Abridged Dictionary of Composers. Cruger composed choral music, chorales, motets, sacred music, and hymns. A list of Cruger's major works and a bibliography on the composer are available. Links to other related Web sites are offered.
Correspondence with Peter Cruger
This volume brings together a study and a critical edition and English translation of correspondence between Johannes Hevelius and his teacher at Gymnasium Academicum in Gdansk, Peter Cruger (1580-1639). This relatively small collection of letters, all of them written during Hevelius's academic trip to Leiden, Paris and London between 1630 and 1632, sheds light on the formation of young astronomer's scholarly workshop and documents the process of shaping of his future scientific interests. A study of this epistolary exchange provides new light on the working methods and development of ideas of Peter Cruger, a relatively understudied figure on the map of the seventeenth-century Republic of Letters, whose activity at Gdansk Gymnasium was crucial for the rise of both, theoretical and practical astronomy in this intellectual centre.
Johann Crüger (1598-1662) - Berliner Musiker und Kantor, lutherischer Lied- und Gesangbuchschöpfer
„Orpheus“ an der Spree ist Johann Crüger (1598–1662) von Zeitgenossen genannt worden. Die Kompositionen des Berliner Nikolaikantors wurden mit jenen von Heinrich Schütz verglichen. Seine Schriften zur Musiktheorie und -pädagogik waren ebenso geschätzt wie seine Gesangbücher, in denen ihm die Verbindung lutherischer Konfessionskultur und mystischer Spiritualität gelang. Er gilt als Entdecker Paul Gerhardts. Crügers Lieder werden weltweit gesungen und inspirierten Komponisten und Literaten, darunter Johann Sebastian Bach, Theodor Fontane und Günter Grass. Dennoch fehlt eine wissenschaftliche Monografie zu Johann Crüger. Die hier versammelten Aufsätze und ein ausführlicher Quellenteil mit Bildnissen und Texten von und über Crüger bieten Darstellungen und Materialien zu Crügers Biografie, seinem vielfältigen Werk und seinem Fortwirken.
Poets Laureate in the Holy Roman Empire
Petrarch’s revival of the ancient practice of laureation in 1341 led to the laurel being conferred on poets throughout Europe in the later Middle Ages and the Early Modern period. Within the Holy Roman Empire, Maximilian I conferred the title of Imperial Poet Laureate especially frequently, and later it was bestowed with unbridled liberality by Counts Palatine and university rectors too. This handbook identifies more than 1300 poets laureated within the Empire and adjacent territories between 1355 and 1804, giving (wherever possible) a sketch of their lives, a list of their published works, and a note of relevant scholarly literature. The introduction and various indexes provide a detailed account of a now largely forgotten but once significant literary-sociological phenomenon and illuminate literary networks in the Early Modern period. A supplementary Volume 5 of Poets Laureate in the Holy Roman Empire. A Bio-bibliographical Handbook will be published in June 2019.
A New Song We Now Begin
We tend to remember hymns one at a time. They color our lives, transmit our theology, and form our faith. We forget that the reason we can do so is because they have been made available throughout the centuries in hymnals. This edited collection explores the 500-year tradition of Lutheran hymnal production, illustrating how these books have influenced Lutheran faith and worship practice over time. Editor Robin A. Leaver has assembled a notable team of contributors from across the wider Lutheran church. Each chapter draws readers into the history and contributions of one or more landmark hymnals, ranging from the first books published during Luther's lifetime to volumes that have shaped the dimensions of the contemporary Lutheran church in the United States. Chapter authors include Leaver, Paul Grime, Markus Rathey, Joseph Hurl, Dianne M. McMullen, Jon D. Vieker, Paul Westermeyer, Mark A. Granquist, Daniel Zager, and Gracia Grindal.

Heinrich Schenker
Originally published in 1966, the Reeseschrift remains one of the most significant collections of musicological writings ever assembled. Its fifty-six essays, written by some of the greatest scholars of our time, range chronologically from antiquity to the 17thcentury and geographically from Byzantium to the British Isles. They deal with questions of history, style, form, texture, notation, and performance practice.
