Andreas Hammerschmidt 1611 Or 1612 – October 29 1675 The "Orpheus Of Zittau " Was A German Composer And Organist Of Bohemian Birth Of The Early To Middle Baroque Era. He Was One Of The Most Significant And Popular Composers Of Sacred Music In Germany In The Middle 17th Century. Hammerschmidt Wrote Motets Concertos And Arias And Almost All Of His Output Is Sacred Vocal Music In The Concertato Style. According To Manfred Bukofzer 1947 He "watered Down The Achievements Of Schütz For The Multitude." Many Of His Compositions Are In The Form Of The Chorale Monody An Adaptation Of The Early Baroque Italian Form To A Sacred And Specifically Protestant Purpose. Indeed Hammerschmidt Represents The Second Generation Of Composers Who Distilled A Native German Baroque Tradition Out Of Forms And Styles Imported From Italy. Over 400 Works By Hammerschmidt Survive In A Total Of 14 Separate Collections. The Motets Represent A More Conservative Style As Noted By Hammerschmidt Himself And The Concertos—concertato Pieces With Opposing Groups Of Voices And Instruments—are In A Current Idiom. Some Of His Concertos Are Written For Large Ensembles With Diverse Combinations Of Instruments And Voices For Example The Sets From Gespräche Über Die Evangelia Of 1655–1656 This Was Long Enough After The War That Large Ensembles Were Available Again . He Wrote These Pieces For Sundays And Church Feast Days Their Structure And Intent Foreshadowed The Later German Church Cantata As Exemplified Most Famously By Johann Sebastian Bach. Even Hammerschmidt's Masses Conform To The Concertato Style And Are Best Seen As Concertos. While Hammerschmidt Was An Organist All Of His Life No Organ Music Of His Has Survived Indeed There Is No Evidence He Published Any. Some Instrumental Music Of His Has Survived In Three Publications Most These Are Suites Of Dances Influenced By The English Style Which Was Prevalent In The Northern Part Of Germany.
