Music year 1541
Strasbourg hymn book 1541 From the sky high
Martin Luther created songs for all Christian festivals, over thirty in total. The famous Christmas carol Vom Himmel hoch, I come here , he supposedly composed in 1535 for the Christmas presents for his own children. Originally he placed the text consisting of 15 stanzas as a spiritual counterfacture to the minstrel song Ich kumm aus frembden landen and bring you vil der newen mär. Luther later composed the chorale melody himself , which was first printed in 1539. In the illustration you can see the melody and the first four stanzas of the song in the Strasbourg hymn book from 1541.

Events

  • The compositions handed down by Henry Fresneau allow the conclusion that he worked in Lyon from 1538 until 1554 .
  • Antonio Gardano , who has lived in Venice since 1532 and founded a music publisher and printer there, published around 450 publications between 1538 and 1569, mainly madrigals and sacred music. Of the 388 remaining prints, only two are non-musical.
  • Girolamo Parabosco has been a student of Adrian Willaert since the end of 1541 .
  • Francesco Patavino works as Kapellmeister in Treviso .
  • Nicolas Payen has worked in the court chapel of Emperor Charles V since 1540 as clerc d'oratoire and chapelain des hautes messes.
  • Matteo Rampollini is in the service of the Medici in Florence .
  • Claudin de Sermisy is a member of the court orchestra of King Francis I of France. From 1533 the composer worked as sous-maître over all musicians in the royal band; Cardinal François de Tournon , a close confidante of the king, is in charge of the administration . As sous-maître , de Sermisy directs the performances of around 40 adult singers and six choirboys that the royal chapel owned during the 1530s and 1540s; In addition, he is responsible for the well-being of the boys and oversees the chapel's liturgical and musical books. He held this office until around 1553.
  • Tielman Susato has been a member of the Antwerp Town Musicians since 1531; he plays the instruments flute , recorder , Krummhorn , field trumpet and trombone , and perhaps also the evening prayer of the brotherhood accompanied. In 1541 there was a business collaboration with the printers Hendrik ter Bruggen and Willem van Vissenaken , but this did not last long. After all, the collection “Quatuor vocum musicae modulationes”, the first Antwerp edition to be printed in just one operation with movable note types, was created during this period. Susato probably opens a trade in musical instruments as well.
  • Adrian Willaert has been the cathedral music director of San Marco in Venice since December 12, 1527 . The composer held this post for 35 years until his death; It is only through his work that this position gains its outstanding importance throughout Europe. Willaert is the successor to Petrus de Fossis († before July 7, 1526).
