Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Chorales, Their Origin and Influence "I Wish," Luther to his friend Spalatin, "to make German hymns for the people, that the Word of God may dwell in their hearts by means of song also." These words and many other passages in his writings show what immense importance Luther attached to music as an aid to religion. Here he asks of the art a new service: he looks to the popular hymn not only to bring a warmer devotion into public worship itself, but also, and especially, to be a great moral force in the daily life of the home. Bohme 1 tells us how this hope was fulfilled. Luthers psalms and hymns, he says, were circulated far and wide. The church song now became also the popular song. The hymns resounded early and late, amid the affairs of business, in every street and market-place. The first Evangelical 2 hymn-books were published in the year 1524, and the movement thus initiated gathered force with the most remarkable rapidity. We may almost say that the making of hymns at once became part of the national life. Baumker quotes a passage from the preface to Wizel´s Kirchengesange of 1546, which says that throughout half Germany there is scarcely a pastor or a shoemaker who lacks the skill to make a little song or two to sing at church with his neighbours. This popular enthusiasm greatly affected the course of musical development. German music, like German poetry, became devoted to the service of the Church. Both arts were, in Schweitzers phrase, impelled upon the religious path. The chorales exercised their influence in two ways.
