Than
ks to a stipend from his
patron, the Landgrave
Moritz von Hessen-Kassel,
Schutz was able to pursue
a three-year period of
study under Giovanni
Gabrieli in Venice from
1609 to 1612, which he
concluded with the
publication in 1611 of
the madrigal collection
Il Primo Libro de
Madrigali. Already in
this, his Opus primus,
Schutz emerged as an
outstanding composer: In
their musical quality,
the 18 five-part
madrigals exceed much
that was still being
composed in the
traditional madrigal
style at the beginnning
of the 17th century.
