Life

Hieronymus Praetorius was born to Jakob Praetorius (1530-1586), who was also his first organ teacher.[1]

Analysis

Klaus Beckmann interpreted the music of Hieronymus Praetorius as indicative of the new protestant organ music after the Reformation. It represents a move away from Diminutions Coloration and towards new music specifically written for the organ in New German Tablature Notation.[2]

It was noted that the notation "Vp 2 Clavier" in the second verse of the Magnificat on the third tone was the earliest mention of using separate manuals in the North-German school.[3]

Confusingly, the manuscript D-W Cod. Guelf. 8 Noviss. 2/o was catalogued by the library as early as 1927. However, the existence of the manuscript was not more widely known until the end of the 20th century. The first edition of the chorale fantasias by Hieronymus Praetorius was published in 1994 by Klaus Beckmann.[5]
