Composed by Samuel Scheidt. Arranged by Derrick ThomasLewis. This edition: pdf. Baroque. 10 pages. Meri Dolevski #6719761. Published by Meri Dolevski (A0.975917).DON'T FEAR PRE-BACH MUSIC! The idea of 'Progress' in art is fallacious (within reason).
Scheidt- Variations on "Wehe, Windgen, wehe" (Blow Little Winds, Blow) [1624, Halle]
This gem of mid-Baroque German meister Sam Scheidt, who (for reference) was 23 yrs. younger than Shakespeare and 98 yrs. than Bach, sounds not-a-bit strange to today's ears. Donald J. (no, not him) Grout says that John Dowland's songs of 1590's sound entirely modern. Well, they do! STING recorded them, if that means anything to you. So then, what have composers been up to for the last 430 years?! I jest, but this piece is terrific.
Be advised, the 'runs' are modal, in that the 7th degree is usually NOT just a semitone under the 8th/1st, but a whole tone. A bit like bagpipe music, in our day.
