Erbarm dich mein
Music for Bass and Strings in 17th Century Germany

Eight talented young musicians from the renowned Juilliard School in New York are introduced to the incredibly rich and fertile musical past of 17th century North Germany. Under the direction of singer and conductor Stephan MacLeod, they explore the repertoire of Schütz, Wechmann, J. C. Bach and Erlebach, among others. The music of each one of these composers sought to reinforce the underlying text. This, in combination with the formal freedom enjoyed by composers in that period, allows for an extraordinary richness and variety of colours.
Music by o. a. Heinrich Schütz (1585−1672), Matthias Weckmann (1616−1674), Johann Christoph Bach (1735−1782), Nicolaus Bruhns (1665−1697) and Johann Rosenmüller (1619−1684)
