	Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sweelinck represents the highest development of the Dutch keyboard school, and indeed represented one of the highest pinnacles attained in keyboard contrapuntal complexity and refinement before J.S. Bach.
		Sweelinck was a master improviser, and acquired the informal title of the "Orpheus of Amsterdam." Over 70 keyboard works of his have survived, and many of them may be similar to the improvisations that residents of Amsterdam around 1600 were likely to have heard.
		Sweelinck wrote variations on John Dowland's internationally famous Lachrimae Pavane, and John Bull, the English keyboard composer, wrote a set of variations on a theme of Sweelinck, indicating the close connection between the different schools of composition across the English Channel.

	Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck (Composer) - Short Biography
		Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck [Swelinck, Zwelinck, Sweeling, Sweelingh, Sweling, Swelingh] was a Dutch composer, organist, and pedagogue whose work straddled the end of the Renaissance and beginning of the Baroque eras.
		Some of Sweelinck's innovations were of profound musical importance, including the fugue - he was the first to write an organ fugue which began simply, with one subject, successively adding texture and complexity until a final climax and resolution, an idea which was perfected at the end of the Baroque era by Bach.
		Sweelinck was a master improviser, and acquired the informal title of the "Orpheus of Amsterdam." Many of his keyboard works may be similar to the improvisations that residents of Amsterdam around 1600 were likely to have heard.

		The importance of Sweelinck in the history of organ music does not lie in his Toccatas and Fantasias, great as they may be, but in the application of the variation technique to the Genevan Psalter.

		Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck [Swelinck, Zwelinck, Sweeling, Sweelingh, Sweling, Swelingh]
		As a teacher Sweelinck was influential and sought after, and his pupils were among the most highly regarded musicians of the time; they included Andreas Düben, Peter Hasse, Samuel and Gottfried Scheidt, Paulus Siefert, Ulrich Cernitz, Jacob Praetorius, and Heinrich Scheidemann, founders of the so-called north German organ school of the 17th century.
		Sweelinck's 254 vocal works, which were all printed, include thirty-three chansons, nineteen madrigals, thirty-nine motets (Cantiones sacrae, 1619), and 153 Psalm settings.

		Sweelinck was born in the Hanseatic two of Deventer in 1562, the son of a professional musician.
		It seems probable that Sweelinck succeeded his father’s position as organist of the Oude Kerk in 1577, since an obituary tribute credits him with 44 years in a position that he certainly held until his death in 1621.
		At the Oude Kerk, Sweelinck established himself as a musician of growing international importance, attracting pupils from the Netherlands and from North Germany, and the English composers and performers, including Peter Philips and John Bull.

	La Folia -- Sweelinck and Gibbons
		Sweelinck also trained a whole fistful of the leading organists of northern Germany: Hambraeus in Koenigsberg, Samuel Scheidt in Halle, Gustav Dueben in Stockholm, Heinrich Scheidemann and Jacob Praetorius II in Hamburg.
		Anyhow, Sweelinck’s Cantiones, with their lively blend of austere polyphony with Eyetalian, madrigalian verve and bounce would be a refreshing relief from the more Teutonic music available to Lutheran musicians.
		Sweelinck combines the kind of relentless polyphony you find in The Art of Fugue with Elizabethan virtuosity you find in works by Dr John Bull and Peter Philips both English refugee organists in nearby Antwerp in the Spanish Netherlands.

		Sweelinck was a teenage prodigy within an Amsterdam dynasty and he irreversibly influenced the evolution of music in northern Europe including England.
		When Sweelinck's students left Amsterdam for their home countries they took with them manuscript copies of the great man's organ works with the result that over seventy pieces survive today.
		Organist Gail Archer identifies three strands in Sweelinck's keyboard works; a) toccatas, fantasias, and 'distinctive echo fantasies suitable for harpsichord or organ'; b) idiomatic settings of chorale melodies linked to a prelude, and c) secular songs and dances designed as themes with variations.

		The repertoire is 17th century Dutch and German music from Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck (1562-1621) and his two disciples, Samuel Scheidt (1587-1654) and Heinrich Scheidemann (1595-1654).
		Part of what drew Archer to the music of Sweelinck is her Dutch heritage on her maternal side.

		Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck (1562-1621) is a well-known composer, and basically on the boundary between Renaissance and Baroque, as we've defined them for this list.
		Although the English influence is frequently neglected in any discussion of Sweelinck (as father of the North German organ school, for instance), this influence on his contrapuntal style was heavy and indeed easily audible after any acquaintance with both.
		Of course, Sweelinck also used German themes (treated in English style) as well as Italian forms and a general combination of Italian and English keyboard ideas.

		Not the least important feature of this generously timed issue is the wide diversity of historical instruments (or copies) employed by Siegbert Rampe, whose exceptionally detailed notes provide extensive information on their background.
		For those who, like myself, recognize Sweelinck’s stature and importance, but do not consider ourselves specialists in this repertoire, the wide variety of sonorities and tonal colors facilitates longer stretches of interest than is sometimes possible when the music is played on a single instrument.
		Whether you’re already attracted to the composer, or looking for an introduction to the great Sweelinck, this is an indispensable disc.

		Except for a now unavailable series released a few years ago by the Netherlands Chamber Choir, and for two or three recordings of Psalm settings, Sweelinck's relatively modest but qualitatively impressive output of choral music remains virtually unknown to most audiences and singers.
		As the greatest of all Dutch composers and one of Europe's most famous organists, Sweelinck, through his teaching and widely published music, profoundly influenced many of the early 17th century's young composers and performers.
		As Richard Marlow's Trinity College Choir so ably demonstrates, Sweelinck not only was a supreme melodist, but also was a master of imitative counterpoint whose extraordinary harmonic sense and innate understanding of the effects of linear ebb and flow brings each piece to an even higher emotional and artistic level.
