Georg Rhau

As a dynamic publisher in Wittenberg through the many years of the Reformation, Rhau had not been only from the young theologians but he was also acquainted with the brand new music that had been written for the providers of the church including Ordinaries, Propers and music for particular festivals from the church. Rhau was in charge of the publication of choices from the liturgical text messages before the Reformation, during and in to the last mentioned times of the motion. Functions from Josquin and Obrecht aswell as the compositions of younger era were contained in his choices. His works had been qualitatively audio in musical precision and so are also very important to their preservation of the early contributions towards the Lutheran cathedral. Rhau not merely released music but was instrumental in the publication of Luther’s Catechism, the Augsburg Confession, Luther’s Sermons as well as the Bible translated by Luther, Melancthon and Bugenhagen. Oddly enough, Rhau was also a talented musician as could be discerned from his session as the Kantor from the Thomasschule.
