	Johann Schein - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Johann Hermann Schein (January 20, 1586 – November 19, 1630) was a German composer of the early Baroque era.
		Schein was one of the first to absorb the innovations of the Italian Baroque—monody, the concertato style, figured bass—and use them effectively in a German Lutheran context.
		The contrast between the two kinds of music can be quite extreme: while some of his sacred music uses the most sophisticated techniques of the Italian madrigal for a devotional purpose, some of his secular collections include such things as drinking songs of a surprising simplicity and humor.

	HOASM: Spiritual Concerto and Church Cantata
		Schein, the successor of Calvisius at St. Thomas' in Leipzig and, like Kuhnau, one of the outstanding predecessors of Bach, combined a restless and excitable harmonic sense with a pronounced talent for affective melody.
		The style of Schein was heavily indebted to Italian models, especially to Monteverdi's duet style with concerting instruments.
		Schein's works stand at the beginning of the long and devious development from the chorale concertato to the chorale cantata.

		Schütz' setting of Psalm 111 is one of his most "modern" pieces and includes a long quote from one of his teacher's compositions, Gabrieli's madrigal Lieto Godea.
		The Schein setting is also for eight voices but the voices are not divided into two choruses like the Schütz.
		The Schein piece is more like a Renaissance motet, but is marvelously euphonious and has that composer's usual finish and sheen.

	ArkivMusic \| Schein: Israels Brünnlein / Manfred Cordes, Et Al
		Johann Hermann Schein's Israels Brunnlein, which has received no less than six recordings since the advent of CDs, clearly is his most celebrated composition.
		For instance, Rademann and Flamig both employ full choirs that, while heightening the grandeur and beauty of Schein's inspired score also undermine the intimacy of the composer's madrigal setting.
		All approaches ultimately serve Schein well (admittedly Rademann and Flamig's full choral treatments really do sound spectacular!), though purists intent on hearing Israels Brunnlein as Schein most likely did needn't look further than this release.
