Joh
ann Hermann Schein's
Israelsbrunnlein,
published in Leipzig in
1623, is a supreme
achievement not only
among the works of this
composer, who had been
Thomaskantor in Leipzig
since 1616, but also for
the entire body of German
music written during the
first half of the 17th
century. Among the 26
motets written in the
Italian madrigal manner
23 are settings of Old
Testament texts, a fact
to which the collection
owes its title. The
source for the text of
this collection is the
inexhaustible fountain of
the Psalms, the books of
Moses, the Prophets, the
Songs of Solomon, and
other books of the Old
Testament.
