Pre-Order: Hieronymus Consort - Himmelsmusik

With his first recording Himmelsmusik, the Hieronymus Consort explores Sacred Concerts and Songs by the Hamburg councillor musician and organist Johann Schop and his son Albert Schop. Both composers were well-connected during their time; Johann traveled to Copenhagen together with Heinrich Schutz to play at the wedding celebrations of the Danish Crown Prince. Albert received his organ education from Philipp Scheidemann and worked as organist at the Mecklenburg court in Gustrow. The concerts shine through their focus on the text and virtuosity, and the songs, with the texts from Johann Rist's "Heavenly Songs," transport the listener to other worlds.
