| Added by magataganm, 06 Apr 2013 Dieterich Buxtehude (c. 1637 to 1639) was a German-Danish organist and composer of the Baroque period. His organ works represent a central part of the standard organ repertoire and are frequently performed at recitals and in church services. He composed in a wide variety of vocal and instrumental idioms, and his style strongly influenced many composers, including Johann Sebastian Bach. Buxtehude, along with Heinrich Schütz, is considered today to be one of the most important German composers of the mid-Baroque. The commemoration of Buxtehude's death in 2007 resulted in widespread interest in his vocal works. Buxtehude left more than 120 such pieces, which is remarkable considering that as organist of St Mary's in Lübeck he was not responsible for the vocal music for the liturgy. Some of his sacred music may have been performed during the services on Sundays and feastdays, but most of it was probably intended for performance during public concerts, in particular the famous Abendmusiken. This Canzonetta (originally in G major) was written in 1690 and is the only multi-sectional canzonetta among the extant Buxtehude canzonetti. It is in two sections. It is links together two brief fugal passages with related subjects. The second section is a 12/8 variation on the first section which is in common time. The two fugal passages are separated by only a couple of measures of free material. Although originally created for Organ, I adapted this work for a Flute Quartet (Piccolo, Flutes (2) & Alto Flute). | |||
