Bettina Varwig, Professor of Music History at the University of Cambridge, offers an illustrated introduction to the sonic environment of Heinrich Schütz’s contemporaries as they lived through the depredations of the Thirty Years War. In a world in which the harmonic fabric of the world was being audibly torn asunder by humanity’s conduct, music could give heightened expression to this dissonant state of human nature while also offering glimpses of a future promise of glorious heavenly harmony.
