Das auf zwei Bande angelegte Standardwerk zur Orgelmusik des 16.-18. Jahrhunderts von Hieronymus Praetorius bis Vincent Lubeck. Klaus Beckmann, Herausgeber der Reihe Meister der Norddeutschen Orgelmusik, schildert in diesem Buch die historische Entwicklung der protestantischen Orgelmusik Norddeutschlands seit Luthers Reformation im Jahre 1517. Unter Verwendung von zum Teil unveroffentlichtem Quellenmaterial entwirft er ein umfassendes Bild zum Stellenwert von Orgelmusik und Organisten in den Hansestadten und in anderen protestantischen Zentren. Die Untersuchung fruher protestantischer Orgelmusik zeigt die Basis auf, auf der Kulminationspunkte wie Dietrich Buxtehude und Vincent Lubeck aufbauen konnten.

Matthias Weckmann, born in Niederdorla near Muhlhausen (Thuringia) in 1616 and died in Hamburg in 1674, was trained as a musician by Heinrich Schutz in Dresden among others. He worked as an organist in Dresden (Schlosskirche) and Hamburg (St. Jakobi). It is particularly for the Jakobi organ that he wrote his elaborate and virtuoso organ works. Our new edition in the renowned series 'Masters of the North German Organ School' faithfully transfers the works which survived in letter tablature, providing a reliably edited urtext. Volume 1 contains the cantus firmus-based works, 8 authentic verse cycles with 2-7 movements each in which chorale melodies such as 'Es ist das Heil uns kommen her', 'Gelobet seist du, Jesu Christ)' or the 'Magnificat' are varied, as well as a cycle on 'Ach wir armen Sunder' attributed to Weckmann. Volume 2 proves him to a master of concertante organ music, containing 3 works with pedal (Fantasia, Fuga and Praeambulum in D) as well as several moderately difficult works to be played on manuals only (6 toccatas, 5 canzonas). Reliable standard edition of the music by one of the great (North) German organ masters.

The composer and organist Paul Siefert, baptized in Gdansk on 28 June 1586 and died there on 6 May 1666, belongs to the 'North German organ school'. Thanks to a grant of the town council of Gdansk, Siefert spent the years from 1607 until probably late 1610 studying in Amsterdam where he got important ideas and suggestions as a pupil of Sweelinck. After his return he became deputy organist in Gdansk. From 1611 to 1616 he worked as an organist first at the church in the old town of Konigsberg, then at the Warsaw court orchestra. On 23 September 1623 he was appointed organist at the Marienkirche of Gdansk in succession to Michael Weyda where he worked until the end of his life. This edition of his organ works contains 13 fantasias, two chorale preludes and a motet as well as a detailed description of the work in the preface and in the critical report.
