A Mighty Fortress: The Reformation and Music
This concert taces the influence of the Reformation on music, with compositions from the earlier Lutheran composers like Johann Walther and Johann Crüger, through the Baroque masters Heinrich Schütz and J.S. Bach, the Classical successorts Gottfried Holilius and Johann Friedrich Doles, and the Reformation's apotheosis in the music of the Romantic era, Felix Mendelssohn.
