In his early works, Schultz combines old Protestant chorales with the Dutch-Italian motet style. In the "Musicalischen Lüstgarte" he shows a wealth of courtly and bourgeois song and instrumental forms. In his later works he proves to be a contemporary of Heinrich Schütz and Heinrich Albert between the old motet playing and the new society song.
