Or, in a very different way, here’s Duparc’s fine song, L'invitation au Voyage. Jessye Norman is accompanied by Dalton Baldwin. One composer, also born this week, interests us more than all the above, even though his name is almost forgotten- Johann Hermann Schein. Schein, a good friend of the better-known Heinrich Schütz, was one of the most important German composers of the pre-Bach era. He was born on January 20th of 1586 (99 years before Bach) in Grünhain, a small town in Saxony. As a boy, he moved to Dresden where he joined the Elector’s boys’ choir; there he also received thorough music instruction.
