	Melchior Franck (Composer) - Short Biography
		Melchior Franck was a German composer of the late Renaissance and early Baroque eras.
		Franck was fortunate in being able to make a living throughout this terrible period as a musician, unlike his contemporary at Halle, Samuel Scheidt, who lost his Kapellmeister post.
		Melchior Franck was a popular composer, and wrote an enormous amount of music, including more than 40 books of motets for a total of over 600 motets alone; in addition he wrote secular songs, including quodlibets, psalm settings, bicinia, tricinia, instrumental dances and numerous miscellaneous pieces.

	Melchior-Franck-Kreis, Coburg, Ensemble für Alte Musik e.V.
		Die Verbindungen, die Franck in Nürnberg knüpfte, blieben ein Leben lang bestehen: Einen großen Teil seiner wichtigsten Werke ließ er auch in Zukunft in den Nürnberger Druckereien verlegen, und als es hieß, eine Hofkapelle in der Coburger Residenz zu errichten, verpflichtete er Musiker aus Nürnberg.
		Der aus Zittau stammende Melchior Franck (geboren um 1580) erhielt zunächst dort, dann in Augsburg seine musikalische Ausbildung.
		Da Melchior Franck hoffte, von diesem eine Anstellung zu erhalten, blieb er in Coburg, obwohl er aus Nürnberg das Angebot der Ratskapellmeisterstelle hatte.

		Franck seems to deviate slightly from the arguments of Entfelder and Bnderlin in emphasizing the formulation of doctrinal absolutes rather than the adherence to specific sacramental forms as the primary means of perversion, but otherwise his analysis of the fall of the primitive church and its implications for subsequent salvation history are remarkably similar.
		Franck was probably directly involved in the process of typesetting and printing this work, and therefore the opinions expressed in it likely reflect his responses to happenings in Strasbourg in the second half of 1530 and first half of 1531.
		Franck does not appear to have ever attained the same access to the inner circles of the Reformation or to have fulfilled this sort of semi-official role in Strasbourg's reformation.

	Journal of Seventeenth-Century Music \| Vol. 7 No. 1 \| Review
		Franck’s sacred works, written during a period of almost forty years, reflect the major stylistic changes in German music during the first decades of the seventeenth century.
		Their prophetic imagery allows the composer many opportunities for expressive word painting; Franck frequently uses virtuoso passages, ornaments, dissonances, meter changes and changes of texture for his highly evocative musical interpretation of these biblical texts, which invites comparison to sacred concertos by his contemporaries Schütz, Schein and Scheidt.
		Today, Melchior Franck is mostly known for his instrumental ensemble music, secular vocal music, and a few of his sacred works, leaving many of his early and late collections of sacred music largely unedited.
