| Added by magataganm, 19 Nov 2019 Johann (Sommer) Summer (c. 1570 - 1627) was a German musician and composer. Sommer received his musical education from Emden Stadtspielmann and Organist Cornelius Conradi (c. 1557-1603), whom he also supported as a singer at high mass in the church, before being called to the Gottorfer Hof in 1591 as a Zinkenist. From 1602 to 1609 he worked as a city musician and organist At the Heilig-Geist-Kapelle (Church) in Lüneburg. Afterwards, he returned to Gottorf again, this time in the function of the Organist And Kapellmeister. In 1619 he took over the post of Council Musician in Bremen, which he held until his death. Psalm 8 is the eighth psalm of the Book of Psalms, generally known in English by its first verse, in the King James Version, "O LORD, our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!". In Latin, it is known as "Domine Dominus noster". Its authorship is traditionally assigned to King David. Source: MGG Online (https://www.mgg-online.com/article?id=mgg12185&v=1.0&r s=mgg12185). Although originally composed for Triple Chorus, I created this Interpretation of the "Herr, unser Herrscher" ("Lord, our ruler" from Psalm 8) for Winds (Trumpet, Flugelhorn, French Horn, Tuba, Flute, Oboe, English Horn & Bassoon) and Strings (2 Violins, Viola & Cello). | |||
