Schütz, Symphoniae sacrae
Posted: Mon Nov 25, 2013 3:58 am
This work has been on IMSLP for about 3 years, and hasn't been tagged yet. Though it is tempting to tag it "symphonies", I think the title more accurately translates as "Sacred Music", so the "Symphoniae" is a generic, not a specific form.
These works are mostly sacred vocal works with instrumental accompaniment. The correct generic for that would be a secular cantata. Is that the best option in this case?
