Deaths
January 27 - Hieronymus Praetorius, composer and organist (born 1560)
In 1598 Landgrave Moritz, impressed by his musical accomplishments, took him to Kassel, where he served as a choirboy and studied music with the court Kapellmeister, Georg Otto.
He returned to Dresden in 1629, but two years later Saxony entered the war and musical activities at court soon came to a virtual halt.
His music, largely to German texts, constitutes the ultimate realization of Luther's endeavours to establish the vernacular as a literary and liturgical language, and embodies the Protestant and humanistic concept of musica poetica in perhaps its most perfect form.
