With his first programme « Himmelsmusik », the Hieronymus Consort around the singer and director Jeroen Finke explores Sacred Concerts and Songs by the Hamburg councillor musician and organist Johann Schop and his son Albert Schop. Both composers were well-connected during their time; Johann traveled to Copenhagen togehter with Heinrich Schütz to play at the wedding celebrations of the Danish Crown Prince. Albert received his organ education from Philipp Scheidemann and worked as organist at the Mecklenburg court in Güstrow. The concerts shine through their focus on the text and virtuosity, and the songs, with the texts from Johann Rist’s “Heavenly Songs,” transport the listener to other worlds. Enjoy !
