'It was late in 1650 that Schütz published the third and last part of his Symphoniæ sacræ, a true hymn to peace in the aftermath of the Thirty Years War. A polychoral ensemble on this scale had not been heard since the Psalms of David (1619), already recorded by Cantus Cölln. The way this work combines tradition and renewal compels admiration: yes, these ‘sacred symphonies’ really did lay the foundations for a century of German church music.' –HarmoniaMundi.com
