It also includes close description of Buxtehude's compositional output, from trio sonatas to the famed Abendmusiken: Buxtehude's yearly oratorio presentations. The young J. S. Bach traveled to L?eck on foot in 1705 to learn as much as he could from the great master of the organ and of Lutheranchurch music.\u003cbr\u003e The revised edition contains new information on the organs that Buxtehude played in Scandinavia and L?eck, excerpts from the newly available account books from St. Mary's in L?eck, a discussion of newly discovered sources, including one written by J. S. Bach, an evaluation of recent scholarship on Buxtehude, and an extensive bibliography. Written for both the casual reader and the serious scholar.\u003cbr\u003e The accompanying music CD (this material is now provided on a companion website) provides examples of all genres discussed in the book -- vocal works, a trio sonata, harpsichord music, and organ music newly recorded on the North German meantone organ in Gothenburg, Sweden, by a noted specialist in this repertoire, Hans Davidsson, who is professor of organ at the University of Rochester's Eastman School of Music and the founder of the Geborg Organ Art Center (GOArt). \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Kerala J.Snyder is Professor Emerita of Musicology, Eastman School of Music (University of Rochester).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kerala Kerala Snyder\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1580462537\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781580462532\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Rochester Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/15\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 584\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.04lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.19h x 6.40w x 1.34d","brand":"Kerala Kerala Snyder","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43985195401471,"sku":"9781580462532","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3c2df8f8-9016-4013-8228-5650dcbeae31.jpg?v=1683276120","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/dieterich-buxtehude-kerala-j-snyder-9781580462532","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
