Heaven Is My Fatherland

History & Biography

“Siegfried Vogelsänger wrote his brief 2008 Praetorius biography as a ‘compendium in layperson’s terms for music lovers and music scholars alike.’ Rev. Biebert not only translates this excellent resource, but provides annotations giving insights into the theological roots from which Praetorius’s music sprang. Appendices offer new translations of relevant prefaces and contemporary documents. As a one-stop resource this book is without peer and will greatly benefit English-language Praetorius scholarship.”
