Heinrich Schütz, in a way, stood as a bridge between the Renaissance and Bach. He infused his church music with a greater drama than previously heard in Germany by developing and transforming the Italian choral style he had learned in his studies with Gabrieli. Schütz's Psalmen Davids (1619) shows the influence of Gabrieli but also divulges his own unique voice. His melodic invention is in evidence in the Becker Psalter (1626), while his Geistliche Chor-Music (1648), a collection of motets, represents perhaps the greatest such assemblage from his century. In 1650, Schütz published his collection, Symphoniarum sacrarum tertia pars. The composer's output slowed to a trickle in his later years, but in the latter 1650s his financial situation, long precarious under Elector Johann Georg, improved when Johann Georg II succeeded his father, who died in 1656.

Show 8 remaining tracks for Schütz: Die sieben Worte Jesu Christ am Kreuz, SWV 478. Es stund aber bei dem Kreuze Jesu seine Mutter (Evangelist). The third volume in the ARS NOVA Copenhagen and Paul Hillier’s Heinrich Schütz series showcases the Johannes-Passion (St. John’s Passion) and Die sieben Worte Jesu Christi am Kreutz (Seven Last Words of Christ). Dacapo’s Schütz series aims to record all the passions and oratorios of Schütz and this is another fine example of the early Baroque vocal music that is said to have inspired . Bach.
This version adapts the music of Schütz to the text of the King James Bible (apart from the Introduction and the Conclusion whose texts are free translations). The recitatives have thus been considerably re-written while attempting to adhere to the inflections of Schütz' melodies. The concerted movements have been rescored for a modern ensemble and the music transposed on occasion to suit a mixed-voice choir, otherwise with the minimum of alteration.
