Assignment 2 asks you to answer a series of questions about Heinrich Schtzs symphonia sacra (sacred concerto with obbligato instruments) Es ging ein Smann aus, zu sen seinen Samen (a sower went out to sow his seed), SWV 408, published in Symphoniae sacrae III (1650). The text comes from the parable of the sower (also known as the parable of the soils), recounted in the Gospel of Luke 8:58. The questions are intended to help you understand, through careful analysis of the text, score, and one recorded interpretation of the composition, how Schtz adapted the new Italian style of composition (represented by Giovanni Gabrieli and Claudio Monteverdi) to German sacred music in the early Baroque period. Content Careful study of the text, musical score, and performance (Naxos recording) will enable you to answer the questions posed above. Draw upon the knowledge of the early Baroque period that you have acquired thus far and use appropriate terminology in your answers. Style
