	Encyclopedia: Anton Praetorius
		Praetorius was so impressed by the Great Wine Barrel in the Heidelberg Castle that he published a poem with the title "Vas Heidelbergense" in October 1595, praising its size as an apparent proof of the superiority of the Calvinist faith.
		Praetorius was one of the first to describe the terrible situation of the prisoners and to protest against torture.

		Beginning in 1585, Praetorius studied theology at the University of Frankfurt an der Oder, where he was also an organist.
		At first Praetorius was the Duke’s organist; in 1604, he was appointed master of the Duke’s court music.
		From 1613-1616, Praetorius was in Dresden, at the court of the

		Michael Praetorius is this man, not only pillar of Lutheran music over the turning of the 17th century, but also a solid and traceable link in a chain that runs from Isaac to Brahms, spanning four centuries.
		Praetorius and Schulteis carry the same connotation of a leader, and thus his name change was really no change at all.
		It is strange beyond all reconning that Praetorius is best known today for his Terpsichore, a collection of over 300 french dance tunes that he arranged.

	Sleeve Notes - Praetorius: Music from Terpischore
		Michael Praetorius was born on 15 February 1571 at Creuzberg an der Werra near Eisenach, the son of a Lutheran pastor.
		However, Praetorius makes it clear in the preface to Terpsichore that the collection was 'written for the French dancers by generally very good Geigers (known in their language as Violons) or lutenists', and that 'they play these same dances on the violin or lute'.
		As already mentioned, Praetorius specifies the violin and the lute as the instruments used in France for courtly dance music; the lute ensemble music published by Nicolas Vallet in 1615 and by Jean-Baptiste Besard in 1617 offered us obvious models for intabulating the four-part writing in Terpsichore for lutes.

	Chanters
		Praetorius states in chapter 19 of his "Syntagma Musicum" that this small bagpipe was a bellow-blown bagpipe from France.
		This instrument, which consists of a bellow, a shuttle-drone, a single chanter and a leather bag which is not covered by any material, is treated separately from other normal bagpipes in Praetorius's book.
		This is similar to the descriptions given by Praetorius and Mersenne except that Borjon shows a very developed system for the "grand-chalumeau" and also an additional "petit-chalumeau" (smaller chanter); both are covered with many keys.

	17th Century Germany: Praetorius
		Michael Praetorius, however, is a different case, because his major publication, however important it may be to organists, is much broader in scope, covering many different topics and types of musical instruments.
		In the context of languages and their structure, that little warning means a researcher - - a student, in other words - - should accept what the native-speakers say as having more validity than the theoretical statements of one who was raised outside the culture.
		Historically, the "Praetorius organ" lies between the instrument described by Schlick in 1511 and the great "Werkprinzip" organs of the late seventeenth century.

	Michael Praetorius Biography / Biography of Michael Praetorius Biography
		Born in Creuzburg (Thuringia), Michael Praetorius was raised in Torgau, a small town famous for its Lutheran school.
		During the next 7 years Praetorius had no fixed post but was employed intermittently by several north German courts (Magdeburg, Kassel, Halle, Dresden) as musical consultant and director of musical festivities.
		As a pendant to his music, and in part to explain its performance, Praetorius wrote a three-volume treatise, Syntagma musicum (1615-1620), which deals with three subjects: the history of ancient sacred and secular music, the nature and construction of musical instruments, and the performance practices of his time.

	Praetorius: Dances from Terpsichore
		Michael Praetorius, German composer and observer of things musical, was one of the most important musicians of the mid-17th century.
		I have been a Praetorius fan since 1965 when I was a teenager, and I will always buy recordings featuring his music.
		Praetorius was also a "serious" religious musician, and this is a nice, secular change from his heavier stuff.

		The first movement was introduced by the 8' subcontra bass followed by the other "low choir" instruments; subsequent movements employed recorders using breathy and percussive unpitched sounds as well as vocalizations to underlay the melodic currents.
		The sense of coloration usually provided by a number of "loud" instruments was inbued here by juxtaposing C basses, contra and subcontra bass against hig choir (garklein to tenor), and by use of contrasting articulations.
		Three soprano recorders played stunningly in tune over the harp, with layers of sound from lower and higher register instruments phased in as the music accelerated, to illustrate the movement of the ocean.

		Michael Praetorius (1571-1621) was a German composer sitting in a unique historical position.

		In order to give her hope, Praetorius tells the student that he was mistaken about her pregnancy and eventually marries her.
		Praetorius also transgresses many standard moral beliefs concerning the dating of patients and physicians as well as that of students and professors, but it is difficult to determine how the filmmakers wish their audience to judge these events.
		At the beginning of the film, Praetorius is seen lecturing eager medical students at an anatomy lab that the cadaver is not a "human being." The audience also watches as Praetorius goes on his rounds informing the health care professionals at his clinic that patients come first before money and hospital routines.

		German organist and composer, not related to Michael Praetorius.
		With Hans Leo Hassler, Hieronymus Praetorius is one of the best representatives of the Venetian tradition in Germany.
		His music is however old-fashioned for its time in that the basso continuo is still optional, and no use is made of the new monodic style or of obbligato instruments.

		Praetorius' nemesis is a conservative rival doctor (Hume Cronyn) who presses for an investigation of our hero's clouded past--with special emphasis given the mysterious old man (Finlay Currie) who lives with Praetorius and waits on him hand and foot.
		In the course of the film, Praetorius falls in love with one of his students, an unmarried pregnant girl (Jeanne Crain).
		At the climactic hearing concerning Praetorius' fitness, the presiding judge (Basil Ruysdael) decides that Praetorius' "modern" methods are more worthwhile than the pragmatic, cut-and-dried theories of his enemies.

		This post necessitated much travelling in Germany, which enabled him to earn widespread renown as a conductor of musical performances, an organ consultant, and a knowledgeable expert on practical music and on musical instruments.
		Praetorius was a Lutheran church composer of amazing industry.
		Dominating his output is the 9-volume Musae Sioniae containing 1,244 chorale settings, but he published many others too, altogether including pieces on every conceivable scale from little bicima to massive Polychoral variations with instrumental support.

		This chromatic tuning explains the number of strings, which is much greater than any of the surviving Gaelic harps except the Cloyne harp.
		This harp, which was made in 1621 and has has 45 strings plus an extra 7 in a second rank, is normally reconstructed as a chromatic instrument, and sometimes with a diatonic bass like the one described by Praetorius.
