 Dieterich Buxtehude - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The preludes form the core of Buxtehude's work and are ultimately considered his most important contributions to music literature of the 17th century.
Buxtehude's subjects rarely exceed two bars in length; the six bar subject of a fugue in BuxWV 145 is one of the very few exceptions.
The three ostinato bass works Buxtehude composed–two chaconnes and a passacaglia–not only represent, with Pachelbel's six organ chaconnes, a shift from the traditional chaconne style, but are also the first truly developed north German contributions to the development of the genre.

 HOASM: Dietrich Buxtehude
Bach, Dietrich Buxtehude -- born at Oldesloe, near Lübeck in 1637, died in Lübeck, May 9, 1707 -- was placed in the unique position of being a living link between the founder of Protestant Baroque music and its greatest master.
When interest in Buxtehude revived after a long period of oblivion his reputation as the most famous organist in Germany prior to Bach was the first fact to be remembered.
Buxtehude was subjected to Schütz's influence through the latter's pupils C. Bernhard and M. Weckmann, as well as his predecessor in office and father-in-law Franz Tunder.

 Dieterich Buxtehude Summary
Dietrich Buxtehude was born in either Holstein or Sweden (both were Danish territories at the time), the son of an organist.
Buxtehude also wrote works based on melodies and texts of chorales (the traditional hymnody of Lutheranism), in some of which the melody is varied in each movement.
Buxtehude brought to its most advanced state the North German chorale fantasia, in which the chorale melody is so freely treated in a series of rhapsodic sections as to nearly disappear.

The librettos for his oratorios, for example, survive, but none of their scores have survived, which is particularly unfortunate, because his German oratorios seem to be the model for later works by Bach and Telemann.
Bach's collection of seminal works preserved some of Buxtehude's organ masterpieces, though, and the publication of two volumes of Buxtehude's chamber sonatas during his lifetime facilitated their transmission through the years.
Buxtehude is believed to have written in a form of notation called organ tablature.

Bach walked all the way from Arnstadt to Lübeck to study with Buxtehude, and was crucially influenced by his meeting with the older composer, as was Händel.

Buxtehude's imagination is amazing, and gives his works a lively, improvisational feel.

It is an oft-told story that Bach made a walking journey to Lbeck to heard Buxtehude play and learn from him; indeed he over-stayed his leave from his church job of the time in order to have more time with Buxtehude.
This is also when he turned down the job of succeeding Buxtehude in his job at the Marienkirche because to do so would have required him to marry Buxtehude's spinster daughter.
It is particularly interesting to hear Buxtehude's own 'Goldbergs' (so to speak) and to hear a couple of suites from the earliest days of that form later brought to such perfection by Bach.

In his day, Buxtehude was famous for his sacred Abendmusiken concerts held during the winter months at Saint Mary's Church.
Buxtehude is one of the people that we have to thank for the practice of hanging the numbers of the hymns on a board by the pew.
In the large chorale preludes Buxtehude tears the melody in pieces, throws the fragments into the flood of a brilliant, animated fantasia, and sends them scudding along, one in the soprano, another in the alto, another in the tenor, another in the bass, according as his fancy suggests.

This CD explores a variety of keyboard music composed by the 17th century Danish/German composer Buxtehude, a leading exponent of the ‘Stylus Fantasticus (fantastical style).
