Description

“Georg Forster Liederbuch – Volume 1” takes you into the musical world of the early 16th century. Georg Forster, a doctor by profession and at the same time a passionate music lover, librettist, composer and editor, left behind his collections of tenor and folk songs as a lasting document of bourgeois musical culture.

Diversity in notes and melodies

This edition is based on “Des andern theyls … Teutscher Liedlein …” from the fourth edition, Nuremberg, 1565. For modern use, the partbooks for ‘Discantus’, ‘Altus’, ‘Tenor’ and ‘Bassus’ have been combined into one score. In “Georg Forster Liederbuch – Band 1” you will find a variety of songs: from carousing and hunting songs to erotic and love songs. Discover songs like “Es sout ein Meiskin”, “Sant Martin” and many more.

Musical interpretations

The notation in “Georg Forster Liederbuch – Band 1” allows both purely vocal and instrumental interpretations. Although Forster does not explicitly emphasize the use of instruments in this edition, flutes, crumhorns, cornamuses, dulcians, pomeranians and shawms, lutes, guitars and viols enrich the performance and enable an authentic musical experience. The possibility of singing these historical works as well as playing them on period instruments makes each piece particularly appealing.

Visual journey through history

The musical works are accompanied by Martina Sirtl’s illustrations, which are closely based on historical models. These visual interpretations deepen your understanding of the era and enrich your musical performance.

The “Georg Forster Songbook – Volume 1” is more than just a collection of sheet music. It is a gateway to the musical tradition and culture of the 16th century. With its carefully edited scores and varied pieces, this book offers both soloists and ensembles numerous possibilities for musical interpretation. The supplementary historical illustrations turn every performance into a profound experience. Take the opportunity to explore the fascinating world of Renaissance music in all its facets.

Heinz Nickel

Heinz Nickel took up the guitar at an early age, and Heinz Teuchert and Curt Gudian were later his teachers in Frankfurt. After completing his secondary education at the age of 27, he studied musicology in Frankfurt am Main with a minor in art history and Spanish literary history.

In 1971 he received his doctorate with “Beitrag zur Entwicklung der Gitarre in Europa” (Haimhausen, 1972) under Wilhelm Stauder in Frankfurt am Main.

Since 1973 he has been a music teacher at the Erich-Klausener-Gymna-sium in Adenau/Eifel. He has been involved in teacher training in various federal states, particularly in the areas of ‘Dance in schools’, ‘Early music in the upper secondary school* and ‘Instrument making as a project in the upper secondary school’. He was also a member of the curriculum development committee of the Rhineland-Palatinate Ministry of Education and Cultural Affairs.

In the 1970s he established close contacts with the “early music” scene, especially in the Frankfurt area, and with various instrument makers such as D. Hense, D. Möckel, G. Körber, K. Reichmann, H. Bohr and W. Heidtland. He then began to study the design and construction of historical woodwind and string instruments.

For more than 20 years, he supervised school study groups on ‘Ensemble music of the Renaissance and the Middle Ages’ and modern ‘Square-dance’.
