Heinrich Schuetz: Musician


Schuetz was the greatest German composer before Bach and began his musical career singing in the Chapel Choir at Landgrove Moritz as a boy. Interestingly enough, Schuetz started to go to school to study law, but was instead sent to Venice to develop his musical ability. Schuetz traveled around Europe and each location influenced his musical styling as he began to blend the different sounds of each location.
