Heinrich Schütz Archive

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Heinrich Schütz Archive was founded in 1988 by Wolfram Steude in Dresden . It is named after the German composer Heinrich Schütz and is now a research institute for Central German music history.

history

As early as 1972, on the occasion of the Schütz year, Siegfried Köhler , the then rector of the Carl Maria von Weber Academy of Music in Dresden, had spoken out in favor of a Schütz center several times. It was intended to bundle the scientific and popular science activities around Heinrich Schütz and his work in one center.

When Steude was employed to set up a research center, initially in preparation for the Schütz award in the GDR in 1985, the project for the establishment of a Heinrich Schütz archive began. After several years of preparation, the Heinrich Schütz Archive was opened on May 27, 1988 in a building of the Carl Maria von Weber University of Music as a research center for the Central German music history of the 16th and 17th centuries.

Primarily the source registration and source collection (especially in copies of various kinds) of documents from and to Schütz and his work was operated. It was partially linked to the source work by Moritz Fürstenau , which was broken off over 100 years ago .

present

Today the research center is also called an institute. It is assigned to the Institute for Musicology at the Carl Maria von Weber University of Music. It does not have original sources. She derives the term archive from her extensive microfilm collection of text and music sources. In addition to Schütz research, research into music in Dresden up to the end of the Baroque period is a focus.

The Heinrich Schütz Archive, in collaboration with Carus Verlag, publishes the Stuttgart Schütz edition as a complete edition of Heinrich Schütz's works.
