The Music of Heinrich Schutz (and Brahms!)

There are composers whose influence outstrips their popularity.
The Baroque composer Heinrich Schutz falls into this group, due
to his total focus on writing sacred vocal music. But for those
who know his music, he is essential. He was the most important
German composer before Bach and was vital to the development of
music. Today I’m going to take you through some of Schutz’s
greatest musical achievements, including his Muskalische
Exequien, the piece that very likely inspired the Brahms Requiem.
