Kaspar Förster Jun. (1616–1673): Sacrae cantiones 1, 2, & 3 vocuum

• A critical edition of 12 concertato motets for 1 to 3 voices by Kaspar Förster jnr (1616-1673). Förster was born in Danzig (Gdansk) and studied in Rome for Giacomo Carissimi in the 1630s. From c. 1637-1652 he was a singer at the Polish court, and from 1652-1667 Hofkapellmeister in Denmark. He died in Oliwa 1673. Förster's music is Italianate in style, with smooth vocal melodies and a sectionalized motet style with a variation of styles and textures. His music is highly expressive, with a harmonic language where he develops the Roman tradition in new direction. He was an important mediator of the new Italian musical style in Northern Europe.
