Musical Creativity, Originality, and Ownership in Early Modern Germany

Bach Society Houston is grateful to the American Bach Society for sponsoring this episode.

In our final episode of the season, we hear from Dr. Stephen Rose, Professor of Music at Royal Holloway University of London, about his recent book, Musical Authorship from Schütz to Bach (soon available in paperback). Dr. Rose joins us to discuss how people in early modern Lutheran Germany thought about musical creativity, authorship, and ownership in economic, cultural, theological, and philosophical terms.
