Music Notes:
Michael Praetorius (1571-1621) born in Creuzburg an der Werra, Thuringen Germany. At University of Frankfurt an der Oder, studied theology (1585-) and was an organist. In Wolfenbuttel, became organist (1592/5?) then master of choir music (1604-13) to Duke Heinrich Julius von Braunschweig. In Dresden, court musician (1613-16) for Kurfurst
von Sachsen (Elector of Saxony). Returned to Wolfenbuttel, but from that time on traveled frequently in central Germany and was very active as a musical adviser and organizer.
Johannes Brahms (1833-1897) born in Hamburg Germany to musical but poor family; his father (a double bass player) encouraged his piano and composition lessons. He desired to be conductor and composer; worked in Dusseldorf, Detmold, Hamburg, Vienna; his "German Requiem (1869)" brought critical acclaim and financial security. Wrote symphonies, concertos, chamber pieces, art songs, etc., and a very few organ works including "Eleven Chorale Preludes (Opus 122, Summer 1896)".
