Historical Soundscapes
In recent years, scholars in a range of disciplines—including history, anthro-
pology, musicology, and ethnomusicology—have begun to tackle the sensory
dimensions of historical experience, pushing beyond traditional emphases on
sight as the primary mode of perception. The eventual triumph of sight in
the Western sensorium has been widely accepted, and we owe much of our
understanding of the process to Walter Ong and Marshall McLuhan, whose

Hubert Jedin in particular has argued strongly for both internal and reactive elements
in Tridentine Catholicism; see his “Catholic Reformation or Counter-Reformation?”
trans. David M. Luebke, in Luebke, ed., The Counter-Reformation: The Essential
Readings (Malden, MA: Blackwell Publishers, 1999), 44–45. For a discussion of
“Counter-Reformation” as a paradigmatic term, see also Luebke’s introduction to the
same volume (pp. 1–16). Jedin’s essay was originally published as Katholische Reformation

Congregational Song
There is little doubt that vernacular song became a vital expression of Lutheran
identity, whether heard in the confines of the church or in more informal ven-
ues. Communal song was a powerful expression of a “culture of belonging”
with deep roots in medieval society, and what began as an effort on the part
of Luther and his colleagues to embed the practice in worship culminated in
a widespread culture of religious song that penetrated the household, tavern,
and street.3 Vernacular song transmitted news of the day, derided Catholics

Reformation and the Culture of Persuasion (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press,

The records of the Bavarian visitations are scattered throughout several sources: for the
diocese of Passau, see BSB Cgm 1737, studied at length in Brigitte Kaff, Volksreligion
und Landeskirche: die evangelische Bewegung im bayerischen Teil der Diözese Passau
(Munich: Kommissionsbuchhandlung R. Wölfle, 1977). Records of the Regensburg
diocesan visitation are preserved in a 1792 copy, BZaR, Visitationsprotokoll 1559,
which has been transcribed and edited by Paul Mai in Das Bistum Regensburg in der
bayerischen Visitation von 1559, Beiträge zur Geschichte des Bistums Regensburg 27
(Regensburg: Verlag des Vereins für Regensburger Bistumsgeschichte, 1993). Records
from the Freising diocesan visitation are available in BayHStA, KÄA 4207, a tran-
scription and extensive study of which is provided in Anton Landersdorfer, Das Bistum
Freising in der bayerischen Visitation des Jahres 1560 (St. Ottilien: EOS Verlag, 1986).
Records from the dioceses and Salzburg and Chiemsee are found in AEM, Salzburg 37,
transcribed with commentary in Braun, ed., Die bayerischen Teile des Erzbistums Salzburg
und des Bistums Chiemsee in der Visitation des Jahres 1558.

“Ob er zu anfanng und ennde der predig das volckh petten haiss unnd ob er das ave
Maria auch gebrauch als ein gebeth, ob unnd was er fur rueff und psalmen singen
lass?” Qtd. in Landersdorfer, Das Bistum Freising in der bayerischen Visitation des Jahres
1560, 43. It was important for priests to regard the Ave Maria not simply as a text of
praise or grues, but rather as a prayer to the Virgin.
13
In the diocese of Passau, for example, no less than half of all parishes had adopted
Lutheran practices, particularly in the valleys of the Inn, Vils, and Rott rivers, and in
s o u n d a n d t h e s p a c e s o f w o r s h i p | 35
the city of Passau itself (Kaff, Volksreligion und Landeskirche, 400–401); for the diocese
of Freising, Anton Landersdorfer, in Das Bistum Freising in der bayerischen Visitation des
Jahres 1560, 138, has identified various towns along the Mangfall river (a tributary of
the Inn) as centers for the new teachings, as well as towns in the immediate vicinity of
the county of Haag, a Protestant enclave until 1567.
14
These alterations are summarized in the final visitation report, preserved in BayHStA,
KÄA 1752, 155v–156r. For further commentary see also Landersdorfer, Das Bistum
Freising in der bayerischen Visitation des Jahres 1560, 154, and Walter Ziegler, ed.,

vaults: that of St. Michael, the largest in the world after St. Peter’s basilica
in Rome, is over 28 meters high, is unsupported by pillars, and generates
a single, unified space with uninterrupted sightlines from the rear of the
nave to the choir—a length of 78 meters. The stuccoed walls and vault were
whitewashed, suffusing the vast interior with reflected light. Unlike medi-
eval churches, then, whose spaces were often articulated by regular pillars,
choir screens, and large, intricately decorated side chapels, the layout of St.
Michael invited churchgoers to see and hear the conduct of the liturgy with
utmost clarity. Jeffrey Chipps Smith, furthermore, has pointed to the striking
artistic program of St. Michael’s altars and altarpieces, which led the viewer
on a spiritual journey from the rear of the nave to the choir, broadly parallel-
ing the course of the Jesuits’ Spiritual Exercises.35 Reaching the edge of the

Originally intended as part of a massive burial monument for the church’s founder,
Wilhelm V, the crucifixion group was placed at the entrance to the choir in 1602. It
now occupies the east transept.

Further empirical research would be needed to determine the precise acoustic
properties of the church. Studies of acoustics in historical spaces may be found, for
example, in Deborah Howard and Laura Moretti, in Sound and Space in Renaissance
Venice: Architecture, Music, Acoustics (New Haven, CT: Yale University Press, 2010);

Copied between roughly 1565 and 1605, the extant choirbooks of the church reflect a
fairly conservative musical practice and are dominated by Magnificats, Masses, hymns,
and antiphon settings: see BSB, Mus. mss. 70, 71, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 82, and the
manuscript appendix to 2 Mus. pr. 15; for discussion see 5/1 in the series Kataloge

BayHStA, KL München, Collegiatstift ULF 12, no. 2, dated July 18, 1605. Apart
from the formal introduction of the Roman Rite itself and the musical reforms noted
here, the mandate addresses the need for proper clerical attire, sufficient copies of the
Roman liturgical books, and a master of ceremonies (magister cæremoniarum) to super-
vise the liturgical reform.

The chapter purchased several new liturgical books in early October; see BayHStA,

s o u n d a n d t h e s p a c e s o f w o r s h i p | 59
chapter would agree to sell off the church’s old Freising liturgical books, conclud-

reversed; see ibid., 33r, dated November 27, 1607. See Extended Reference 2.29 for

The duties for the organist are specified in a 1606 supplication from the organist
Abraham Wisreutter to the chapter, cited by Söhner in Die Musik im Münchner Dom
unserer lieben Frau, 43. See Extended Reference 2.31 for details. The chapter had hoped
to install a new, larger organ as early as 1610, but these plans failed due to a lack of sup-
port from the city authorities. Maximilian I donated a positive organ to Unsere Liebe
Frau in 1611, but a new fixed instrument had to wait until 1631, when Hans Lechner
finally completed a massive organ of at least seventeen registers. See Brenninger, Orgeln

The city opposed polyphony at St. Peter for several reasons: people would remain in
the church for too long listening to the polyphony; the music would distract them
from proper prayer; and it might supplant the attention that the sermon deserved. It is
difficult to assess the truth of this, since no similar objections seem to have been made
by the city to the expansion of polyphony at the nearby parish of Unsere Liebe Frau.

For a thorough overview see esp. Münster, “Die Musik in den bayerischen Klöstern

lae (Venice, 1630) by Johann Brandstetter, organist and choir director at Zwiefalten,
and the Alveus sacer (Ingolstadt, 1630) by Rufinus Sigelius from Seeon. See Beer, Die

specifying the days on which a simple service without music (schlechtes Ambt), a service
with chant, and a service with polyphony was held. Another document here, dated
November 4, 1652, and signed by Ambrosius Kirchmayr, the Reformed Franciscan
provincial, gives a list of feast days on which the women sang, although no distinction
is offered between chant and polyphony.

See ibid., 47, 70, 79–81. In 1632 elaborate music was heard at Frauenwörth for the
arrival of the so-called Wunderbares Gut, an allegedly miraculous Host from the church
of Heilig Kreuz in Augsburg, a city that was now under siege by Swedish forces. The
Wunderbares Gut would be kept safe here until its return to Augsburg in 1635. The
splendid ceremonies were accompanied by polyphonic and instrumental music, appar-
ently provided by the male Augustinian Canons of Heilig Kreuz and Herrenchiemsee.

I would echo Barbara Lawatsch Melton’s observations with respect to the Benedictine
nuns of the Nonnberg abbey in Salzburg, for whom music was a critical vehicle for
agency. See her “Loss and Gain in a Salzburg Convent: Tridentine Reform, Princely

Possibly Lasso is depicted as the figure to the left of the stand with his arm pointing

Recent research has shown that Senfl, who had been dismissed from Charles V’s service
in 1520, may not actually have brought choirbooks to Munich copied at the imperial
chapel, as was previously believed; see Birgit Lodes in “Ludwig Senfl and the Munich
Choirbooks. The Emperor’s or the Duke’s?”, in Göllner and Schmid, Die Münchner
Hofkapelle, 224–33. Martin Bente, in KbM 5/1, 13–14, had argued for the imperial
provenance of at least some of this repertory.

Bente in KbM 5/1, 16–18.
145
There is of course some ambiguity here, for if wind instruments were deployed for
Sunday Vespers (that is, Second Vespers), this would imply choral polyphony for this
service as well. Yet Troiano indicates previously that choral polyphony was heard
at First Vespers only. The Vespers polyphony by Senfl preserved in BSB, Mus. ms.
52 (1520s?) omits music for Second Vespers. See Crook, Orlando di Lasso’s Imitation
Magnificats, 42.
146
Debate broke out between Albrecht and his aides over music expenses in 1557.
Nevertheless, daily performance of music in the chapel dated back to the early reign
of Wilhelm IV; see Körndle, “Der ‘tägliche Dienst’ der Münchner Hofkapelle im 16.
Jahrhundert,” 23–24. Newer and older styles seem to have coexisted easily in the cha-
pel repertory, as David Burn demonstrates in “On the Transmission and Preservation of
Mass-Propers at the Bavarian Court,” in Göllner and Schmid, Die Münchner Hofkapelle,
323–26.
147
Wilhelm appears to have laid the ground for Tridentine reform some years before.
As early as 1565, Lasso included a textual reading found in the Roman and not in
the Freising Breviary in his Lectiones ex propheta Iob, and the Proper settings of the
third volume of Patrocinium musices in 1574 included a number of texts that were
found only in the Roman Use and that would be published in the 1579 Roman Missal
for the diocese of Freising. For commentary see Crook, Orlando di Lasso’s Imitation
Magnificats, 56–63, and Körndle, “Der ‘tägliche Dienst’ der Münchner Hofkapelle im

Much of our knowledge of Tumler’s work and difficulties with the Munich chapel
personnel comes from the testimony of Wilhelm Fusban (d. 1664), also a priest from
the Collegium Germanicum. For discussion see Thomas D. Culley, SJ, Jesuits and

No specific contribution to musical reform on Tumler’s part is known apart from his
written request to Rome in January 1582 for tones for the psalms, responsories, and
Passions.

152
Crook, Orlando di Lasso’s Imitation Magnificats, 41–49, 56–63. BSB Mus. ms. 52, con-
taining polyphonic antiphons, hymns, and responsories, mostly likely by Senfl him-
self, shows textual readings from the Freising Breviary of 1520 and thus was likely
copied at Munich in the early 1520s. This Liber vesperarum was incomplete at Senfl ’s
death; Mus. ms. 43, copied in the 1550s during the time of Daser and Le Maistre, con-
tains further settings of antiphons, hymns, and responsories, together with falsobordone
settings of the Vesper psalms and Magnificats by Johann Walter and Stephan Mahu.
See also Bente’s discussion in KbM 5/1, 14–16.
153
This set of Magnificat octo tonorum (Nuremberg, 1567; RISM L805) are scored for
four to six voices, and are arranged according to the psalm tones. On the com-
mercial nature of the print see James Erb, “Orlando di Lasso’s First Magnificat
Publication: A Contribution to the Complete Edition, with Commentary” (PhD diss.,
Harvard University, 1978), 195–200.
154
Crook notes in Orlando di Lasso’s Imitation Magnificats, 52, that the appearance of falsobor-
done settings of In exitu Israel (Ps. 113) in BSB Mus. mss. 55 and 2748 by 1581 suggests
that Second Vespers was now to be celebrated with music. On the greater prominence
of the Magnificat and the Vespers service under Wilhelm V, see also 63–64.
s o u n d a n d t h e s p a c e s o f w o r s h i p | 83
155
Exceptions to this may be seen in the Magnificats of the 1587 Patrocinium musices print
dedicated to Wilhelm’s brother, Archbishop Ernst von Wittelsbach of Cologne and
Freising (RISM L974), as well as in individual works copied into manuscripts belong-
ing to the Munich Jesuits, the basilica of SS. Ulrich & Afra in Augsburg, and the
Habsburg archducal court at Graz. However, as Erb argues in “Orlando di Lasso’s First
Magnificat Publication,” 208–9, these works represent gifts drawn from a prized and
private repertory, and were never intended for wider dissemination.
156
Crook in Orlando di Lasso’s Imitation Magnificats, 80–82, argues for the purifying effect
of the Magnificat text.
157
Lasso is known also to have composed numerous falsobordone settings for the recitation
of Office psalmody, performed in alternatim fashion with chant recitation (mostly in
BSB, 2 Mus. pr. 12/2). For discussion see Extended Reference 2.59.
158
As we shall see in chapter 3, Wilhelm’s consort Renate von Lothringen made a dona-
tion to the parish of Unsere Liebe Frau in 1575 calling for polyphonic litanies on
every Sunday evening at Compline. The duke’s sister Maria Anna, who had mar-
ried Archduke Karl of Austria in 1571, wrote to Wilhelm from Graz in December
1572 requesting a copy of a four-voice “Ledaney von unser Frauen” that was sung at
Landshut (Wilhelm’s residence before his accession in 1579) and at Altötting. She
thanked him in February 1573 for sending these work(s), and wrote in July 1576 that
she “was happy in her heart about the litany.” Letters from Maria Anna of Bavaria to
Wilhelm V, December 27, 1572, February 22, 1573, and July 22, 1576, discussed in

On the musicians’ gallery see the “Descrittione compendiosa del Palagio sede de’
Serenissimi di Baviera” by Baldassare Pistorini, who was a bassist in the court chapel
(BSB, Cod. Ital. mon. 409, here 10v). See Wackernagel, Musikinstrumentenverzeichnis
der Bayerischen Hofkapelle von 1655, 56–59. The two positive organs listed in the 1655
inventory of the court chapel instruments, likely the same described by Pistorini, were
of seven registers and three registers, respectively. The latter instrument, possibly con-
structed by Urban Heusler and Leonhard Kurz for the court in 1601, may in fact be
the same as that which was found during a 1968–1969 restoration of the organ in
the Schleißheim court chapel, and is preserved today in the lowermost gallery in the
Munich court chapel. See ibid., 59, as well as Brenninger, Orgeln in Altbayern, 42 and
194, and Horst Leuchtmann, “Organisten und Orgelbauer in ihrer Beziehung zum
bayerischen Herzogshof 1550–1600,” Acta organologica 6 (1972): 108.

The court pay records (Hofzahlamtsrechnungen, BayHStA, HZR) provide some useful
data on salaries for the singers (called Cantoreij Personen, and later Musicisten, including
chapelmaster, vice chapelmaster, singers, and choirboys), instrumentalists, and trum-
pet corps (from 1642 onward the trumpeters’ salaries were figured together with those
of the instrumentalists). See table 2.2 for a summary of chapel expenses.

this was just a temporary measure.

Horst Leuchtmann, in “Die maximilianische Hofkapelle,” in Glaser, Um Glauben
und Reich, 370–71, cautions, however, that a comparison of musicians’ compensation
before and after Lasso’s death is made difficult by frequent currency devaluations; as a
total percentage of court expenditures, furthermore, musicians’ salaries account for a
quite small percentage of the total during the later years of Maximilian’s reign.

Orlando di Lasso and his wife Regina Wäckinger are known to have had at least seven
children, of whom six are known by name: Ferdinand and Rudolph (who would distin-
guish themselves as court musicians), Anna, Regina, Ernst, and Wilhelm. Relatively
few biographical details are known of Lasso’s offspring apart from Ferdinand and
Rudolph; see Leuchtmann, Orlando di Lasso, 1:113–16.

As of October 1, 1614, Holzner was granted a salary of 200 Gulden annually, in return
for which “he shall continue to be used in the [court] music, and additionally practice
and perfect himself in composition and organ-playing, and not go into service with
any other lord”: see BayHStA, HZR 63, 593r–597r; see also the decree of September
23, 1614 in BayHStA, HR I, Fasz. 468, Nr. 580. He appears to have departed for Italy
the following year, when forty-five Gulden were paid to “Anthoni Holtzner, Music[us]
zu Zehrung, alß Er in Italia v[er]raist”. BayHStA, HZR 64, 441r.

Several documents from May and June 1619 in BayHstA, HR I, Fasz. 468, Nr. 580
(nos. 9, 26, 27, 28, 29) detail the settlement of Holzner’s travel expenses on his return.
Sadly, we do not know the identity of Holzner’s teachers in Italy, although a possible
candidate in Parma would have been Vincenzo Bonizzi, a student of Claudio Merulo
and composer-organist at the Farnese court. After Borlasca’s departure in October
1624, Holzner took over the duties of Konzertmeister, and in 1625 he became the prin-
cipal organist upon the death of Rudolph di Lasso. Holzner died of pestilence in 1635.

These included a Mass and Offertory for three choirs for the dedication of the new
court chapel, a work for four choirs and trumpets for the feast of the Dedication at the
Jesuit church in the previous year, and a large-scale work for the arrival of Charles III,
Duke of Lorraine, in September 1603, which required the coordination of instrumen-
talists, swordsmen, and musketeers. BayHStA, HR I, Fasz. 464, no. 313. For details

Orlando’s Magnificats continued to enjoy great prestige locally: five of them would
be published by his son Ferdinand in the Cantiones sacrae Magnificat vocant V. et
VI. vocum (Munich: Nikolaus Heinrich, 1602; RISM 16021), and one hundred (!) by
his son Rudolph in the Iubilus B. Virginis, hoc est centum Magnificat ab Orlando de Lasso
(Munich: Nikolaus Heinrich, 1619; RISM L1031), a print that may be seen as a pen-
dant to the great posthumous collection of Orlando’s motets, the Magnum opus musicum
of 1604.

Cantica divae Mariae Virginis octonis vocibus, & varijs instrumentis concinenda [ . . . ] opus
quintum (Venice: Giacomo Vincentino, 1615; RISM B3756). Borlasca dedicates the
print to his patron Maximilian, whom Borlasca thanks for counting him, an “out-
sider,” among his vassals. This timbral differentiation is also displayed in Borlasca’s
Scala Iacob (1616); see Extended Reference 2.70.
187
Canticum Virginis seu Magnificat et antiphonae de eadem Virgine, quinis, senisque vocibus et
cum et sine basso ad organum canenda (Munich: Nikolaus Heinrich, 1625; RISM H6395).
Three of these Magnificats imitate madrigals by Marenzio and Andrea Gabrieli.
Despite the presence of a continuo part, the collection, which was printed in folio
size—thus inviting choral performance in the traditional manner—has a somewhat
retrospective feel and forms a pendant to his Missae quinis, senis et octonis vocibus, cum
basso ad organum (Munich: Nikolaus Heinrich, 1622; RISM H6394), a collection of
Mass Ordinary settings for five, six, and eight voices that he had published a few years
previously.

of the modern sacred concerto for few voices in recent years, as well as an entreaty
for the performance of these more traditional works in the chapel. Together with
the existing repertory by Orlando di Lasso, then, we are faced with a large and
ever-increasing number of Magnificat settings in traditional and newer styles that
were potentially available for use in the chapel and testify to the continuing rel-
evance of the Canticle in an atmosphere of intense Marian veneration.

sacred and secualr works. For description see Marie Louise Göllner, ed., Katalog der

Around two dozen emblems are consistent with various Marian titles in the Litany
of Loreto and in the Marian litany ex sacra scriptura. A thorough examination of
this stucco decoration can be found in Erwin Schalkhaußer, “Die Münchner Schule
in der Stuckdecoration des 17. Jahrhunderts. Die Stukkaturen der Michaelskirche
und des maximilianischen Residenzbaues in München und ihre Auswirkungen auf
die Entwicklung der Stuckdekoration in Altbayern, Schwaben und Tirol im 17.
Jahrhundert,” Oberbayerisches Archiv für vaterländische Geschichte 81/82 (1957): esp. 28–
32. Based on archival evidence Schalkhaußer identifies Hans Krumper as the likely
designer of the stucco program, which was executed by a number of artists, first in
1600, and then again in 1614, when Michele Castelli was among those paid for his
work. Jeffrey Chipps Smith, in Sensuous Worship, 148, notes that the Munich court
chapel served as a model for Neuburg.

à D[omin]ō Capellæ Magistro Joanne Jacobo Porro ~ hic relictarum.” Leuchtmann
discusses some of the broader contours of this inventory in “Die Maximilianeische

Magistro Joanne Jacobo Porro ~ hic relictarum,” BayHStA, HR I, Fasz. 463, Nr. 202,
1v. The list also gives three Miserere settings by Piscator as well as a Marian litany with
trumpets by Valentini (1v–2r).
196
Wackernagel, in Musikinstrumentenverzeichnis der Bayerischen Hofkapelle von 1655, 139–
40, suggests that the emphasis on music with trumpets may reflect the influence of the
imperial court at Vienna, where Giovanni Valentini in particular cultivated polychoral
works involving trumpets together with singers and other instrumentalists.
197
The latter entry reads, “Salmi del Chizzolo. lib: 9. à otto uoci.” According to Robert
Eitner in his Biographisch-Bibliographisches Quellen-Lexikon der Musiker und Musikgelehrten
(Leipzig: Breitkopf & Härtel, 1900), 2:429, a certain “Giovanni Chizzotti” iden-
tifed by François Fétis was likely to be Giovanni Croce, the surname stemming from
Chioggia, the city of his birth. Croce did publish a set of eight-voice Psalms in 1596,
the Salmi che si cantano a terza, con l’inno Te Deum, e i salmi Benedictus e Miserere (Venice,
1596; RISM C4448), which may be the item referenced in Porro’s inventory.

Ibid., 39–40, 67–68, 80, 83. The harpsichord, whose designation as “alla quarta”
indicates a larger instrument at a pitch lower by a fourth than other instruments of the
same kind, was also used “for the litany” in the small church of Unsere Liebe Frau in
der Gruft (also called the Gruftkirche or Neustiftkirche) that was built on the site of a
former synagogue in 1442. See BayHStA, HZR 78 (1628), 586r, and commentary in

demonstrated evidence of modal ordering within subsets of the Psalms and Psalm
verses; see his “Modal Ordering within Orlando di Lasso’s Publications,” in Orlando di

appears also to have housed a small positive organ that was periodically main-

very small number of singers, to perform sacred concertos of the kind cultivated
by Maximilian’s court composers.19 Indeed, this very intimate space, at most ten
meters square, could hardly have accommodated larger ensembles.

Nearly half of the volume’s concertos are written by local composers, in fact, led by
Victorinus himself (15 works), followed by Rudolph di Lasso (5), Giacomo Perlazio (5),
Christoph Perckhover (5), Ferdinand II di Lasso (4), and Giovanni Martino Cesare (3).

Monastic Devotion
We saw in the previous chapter that the wealthier, established orders like
the Benedictines and Augustinians were most likely to cultivate elaborate
polyphony in their liturgies. It was here, too, that recreational music for
devotion likely found a welcoming audience. We know that Rudolph di Lasso
delivered exemplars of his prints to monasteries on several occasions, includ-
ing those of Petershausen, Salem, and Ochsenhausen; certainly he hoped for
honoraria from these institutions, but he likely felt them to be suitable per-
formance venues as well.28 Likewise, Georg Victorinus may have felt that the
concertos of his Philomela coelestis could find entry into the recreational spaces
of the Aldersbach Cistercians, an order that by this time tended to avoid poly-
phonic music in their liturgy.29 As we move later into the seventeenth cen-
tury, we find a growing number of composers connected to monasteries in the
southern German orbit, whether monks or laymen, who devoted themselves
to the affective resources of the sacred concerto. The Benedictine monaster-
ies seem to have been especially active in this regard, with published music
28
In 1608, 1611, and 1619 the Benedictines of Petershausen received music from
Lasso: his Circus Symphoniacus (1607) and two collections of his late father’s music that
he edited, the Missae posthumae (1610) and the Magnificats of the Iubilus B. Virginis
(1619). Exemplars of his Virginalia Eucharistica, furthermore, went to the Cistercians
of Salem and to the Benedictines of Ochsenhausen in 1615. See Axel Beer, Die Annahme
des ‘stile nuovo’ in der katholischen Kirchenmusik Süddeutschlands, Frankfurter Beiträge zur
Musikwissenschaft 22 (Tutzing: Hans Schneider, 1989), 89–94.

melodies could easily have been committed to memory and then sung to
repeated stanzas of the poetry.33 Khuen gives no indication of the appropriate
instrument to perform the bass line (which is lightly figured, if at all), and we
can imagine these songs being sung accompanied by a keyboard instrument
or a string instrument, or even omitting the bass part entirely since the
latter is rarely, if ever, given independent material.
Some impressive testimony to the vitality of the thoroughbass lied in
monastic contexts comes from the Benedictine abbey of Seeon, poised on a

The text begins with a song of rejoicing that resembles the song of victory
sung by Miriam, the sister of Moses and Aaron, as the Hebrews are delivered
from Pharaoh’s army (Exodus 15:20–21):
1. FAngt an zu singen/ Let us begin our song,
Die Trummel rühret/ Strike the drums,
138 | m u s i c , p i e t y , a n d p r o p a g a n d a
Since Moses was the leader of men, St. Clare exclaims, “Come to me, you
virgins, and adorn my host.” These virgins are now instructed to accept the
Franciscan rule and take the veil:
The rhetoric of enclosure and the embrace of Christ the Bridegroom per-
meates the remainder of the poem. Clare sings, “Very strong walls / Were
formed in the Red Sea, / We have been enclosed / As we have desired” (stanza
5); and again, “Abide with me / In the enclosed garden, / You noble roses”
(stanza 7). These are the roses “that remain fruitful, / Intact to their final end,
/ Which reject the pleasures of the world, / And turn themselves alone to
Jesus” (stanza 8). It is the metaphor of the walled garden in particular that
gives the song special relevance to the station of claustrated nuns, who find
their victory and refuge in this enclosed space. Khuen’s supertitle preceding

Strasser, State of Virginity, 129–30. Although the nuns’ resistance to her rigid ascetic
regime may have been a contributing factor, her critiques of the male clergy’s laxity
probably led to her dismissal by the male Reformed Franciscans.

By the eighteenth century, membership in some confraternities was remarkably large,
numbering in the tens of thousands, and the groups were no longer exclusively an
urban phenomenon; see Walter Pötzl, “Volksfrömmigkeit,” in Walter Brandmüller,
ed., Handbuch der bayerischen Kirchengeschichte. Band II: Von der Glaubensspaltung bis
zur Säkularisation (St. Ottilien: EOS Verlag, 1993), 930–31. On the careful balance
between “elite” control and popular initiative in these groups, see also Schneider,
“Wandel und Beharrung,” 68–71.
76
Whether this mixed-gender profile of Tridentine confraternities had substantial con-
sequences for their spiritual or caritative character—Bernhard Schneider, for exam-
ple, has seen this phenomenon as a prelude to a more general “feminization of the
Church”—is a question that deserves further research. See Schneider, “Wandel und

type of “confessional” litany was not unique among confraternities during this time
of confessional conflict: the 1629 statutes for the Confraternity of St. George, which
long had enjoyed a close association with the Wittelsbach court, include a “Litany
for the Holy Princes of War” (Letaney zu den Heyligen Kriegs Fürsten) that implore the
armies of heavenly saints for aid against the heretics, and God that “he shall grant to

Paradeißvogel (1613).97 From that songbook we can offer the melody shown
in Example 3.6, a translation of the Passion hymn Stabat mater, as an example
of what the Forstenried confreres may have sung in their homes. We can see
in these collections a possible Catholic parallel, then, to the reading, prayer,
and psalmody of Protestant conventicles, and an opportunity to aurally shape
devotional space within private homes.
The success of the Forstenried confraternity and the death of Wilhelm
V in 1626 compelled the Jesuits of St. Michael to found a similar group
at the church, and in 1642 the two confraternities would finally be joined
into a single assembly. At that time, the original Forstenried community
agreed to conditions imposed by the Jesuit college that “the Congregation
shall provide singers for the singing of the services at its own cost, as well as
bell ringers”: thus, the regular engagement of professional singers seems to
have been expected.98 Lipowsky reported that the members of the Munich
group met once a month at St. Michael and “sang edificatory German songs
with accompaniment of the organ,” although neither the precise time period
nor his own source for this information is clear.99 If indeed it were the case
that confraternities heard or performed simple vernacular songs with organ
97

In the case of the Confraternity of St. Christophorus, founded as early as 1659 at the clois-
ter church of the Pütrich nuns of the Franciscan Third Orders, we do have a thorough-
bass song apparently intended for confraternal use that is preserved in a 1673 published
vita of that saint. It appears in the Leben vnd Marter Deß heiligen Christophori, Sambt einem
Lob=Ruef vnnd Gebett. Zu Trost aller deren, so den Namen deß gemelten heiligen Martyrers mit
Andacht tragen (Munich: Lucas Straub, 1673). The melody is lively and quite disjunct,
but may have been performable by amateur devotees depending on the tempo taken.

S A LV E Services
Another prominent type of devotion in Counter-Reformation Bavaria was
the Salve service, a quasi-liturgical Marian devotion involving the singing of
the Salve Regina, ordinarily held in a church on Saturday evenings or on the
vigils of major feast days, typically at the end of the Office of Compline. This
devotion had clear medieval antecedents, but the advent of the Reformation
made the Salve Regina a fierce object of debate between confessional camps,
for its text clearly praises Mary for her intercession on behalf of sinners and
identifies her as the gateway through which believers may come to her Son.111
The antiphon was a target of a sermon by Luther in 1522, and came under
attack in numerous Lutheran polemics. For example, Johannes Freysleben
offered the following uncomplimentary account of Salve services in the Upper
Palatinate:
And even if one rings the bells, it is not enough to bring [the laity] to
the sermon; but if one rings the Salve bell, then people flock there like
hens, pushing before them girls and boys, wives and children. There is
piping, running around, singing, screeching; people bellow like an ox,
109
For the wake of Wilhelm V in 1626 we read that “[. . .] modulantib[us] psalmos die
noctuq[ue] pauperib[us] scholasticis,” the verb modulor suggesting some manner of
polyphonic, rather than monophonic performance. See BayHStA, Jesuitica 2268,
80. For further texts recording the funerary rites for Renate von Lothringen (1602),

On the origins of the devotions at St. Peter and Unsere Liebe Frau see Heinzel,
“Orlando di Lasso und die Münchner Salve Regina-Tradition,” Musik in Bayern 55
(1998): 143–58. Albrecht IV’s original donation called for the participation of the can-
tor, schoolmaster, and four choirboys. The 1570 foundation was by Simon Thaddäus
Eck, the ducal privy councillor, chancellor, and younger stepbrother of Luther’s famous
opponent Johannes Eck. On the vigils of the seven Marian feasts, Christmas, Easter,
and Pentecost, as well as on the four quarterly Ember Days (Quatembersamstagen) and
Saturdays during Lent, the Litany of Loreto was to be sung in four-part polyphony, with
two choirboys intoning and the choir responding with the “ora pro nobis” responses;
this litany was performed at the same time as the Salve Regina from Albrecht IV’s dona-
tion. See Leo Söhner, Die Musik im Münchner Dom unserer lieben Frau in Vergangenheit und
Gegenwart (Munich: Verlag Lentnersche Buchhandlung, 1934), 19–20.

Likely a reference to Jesus’s three prayers uttered in the Garden of Gethsemane
(Matthew 26:39–44), and to the three times that Christ was widely believed to have
stumbled during his procession with the Cross to Calvary (the Via dolorosa), episodes
not recorded in the Gospels. In the fourteen Stations of the Cross, the falls are assigned
to Stations 3, 7, and 9. See George Cyprian Alston, “Way of the Cross,” The Catholic

the major feasts of the Temporale and concluding with songs for the Sanctorale
and “andere Gottseelige Gesang.” Bidermann provides no notated melodies,
however, counting on his audience to remember them, especially in cases of
popular and venerable songs (Freu dich du Himmelkönigin, Gelobet seist du Jesu
Christ, and Jesus ist ein süsser Nam, just to name a few). For many other songs, he
provides indications for contrafacture—the singing of a given text to a presum-
ably well-known melody.181 Because they had allowed numerous alternatives or
omitted notation altogether, both Vetter and Bidermann may have felt that their
songs could travel more easily among audiences with limited musical literacy.
Contrafacture, moreover, was sometimes deployed for plainly propagan-
distic purposes. The Lutheran song Erhalt uns Herr bei deinem Wort was a natu-
ral target given its invidious comparison of the papacy to the Turks and its
181
Sey Gegrüst Christi Mutter rein to the melody of Da Jesus an dem Creutze stund, and Ewiger

In this work, whose melody seems to have achieved some popularity (it
became known as the “Schutzmantel” tune, denoting the protection Mary’s
cloak gave to the Bavarian state; see chapter 4), Marian devotion becomes an
interpretive frame for understanding the religious space of the city itself. Put
differently, Khuen wrote his song as an aural counterpoint to the visual land-
marks that defined Munich’s urban, confessionalized environment. We will
likely never know the true extent to which songs like Maria Himmelkönigin
were heard in the public and private spheres, but this expansive body of song,
together with the fervently Catholic polyphony cultivated by Bavarian com-
posers in these years, testifies to a powerful impetus to reshape the sound-
scapes of devotion in the spirit of Catholic reform.

League, entreated bells to “cease your assault on this undeserving head. You are bet-
ter suited to sound the signal for civil war: I am a lover of peace: what use to me are
war-trumpets?” From De Thou, Iacobi Augusti Thuani Epigrammata, preserved in Paris,

The following information is drawn from Nies, Die Glocken des Münchner Frauendoms,
as well as from BayHStA, KL München, Collegiatstift Unsere Liebe Frau 246, a source
not cited by Nies (hereafter ULF 246).
27
Nies, in Die Glocken des Münchner Frauendoms, 75, indicates that this bell was once
called the Chorglocke or Herrenglocke and originally called the church’s canons to prayer.
However, according to ULF 246 the only bell with a similar inscription was the
so-called Primglocke, bearing the names of the Evangelists in the order Luke, Mark,
John, and Matthew. The Herrenglocke, by contrast, carried the inscription “ANNA
MATER MARIE.”
28
ULF 246 gives the following reading, which syntactically seems superior: “O Rex
gloriæ veni cum pace, pace. a[nn]o d[omi]ni MCCCCXLVI. und ich haiß Maister
Paulus.”

For Bavarian officials public singing carried the potential for disorder and
subversion. Bruce Smith has written eloquently of the expressive power of and
political challenges posed by popular ballads in the English public sphere,
their effect on the body, their role in the soundscape, their interaction with
speech communities and political authorities.93 Popular ballads and songs
were a critical means of expressing personal and collective identity, of defin-
ing the boundaries between “us” and “them”; as Smith writes, “all ballads are
border ballads.”94 Even if some ballads and songs were disseminated through
manuscripts and prints, these were but an epiphenomenon of a much broader
culture of orality in which reading aloud and singing were central modes of
communication. Songs passed on news of recent events, mocked the ortho-
dox clergy, disrupted Catholic services, and witnessed to Evangelical belief.95

respectively, were likely the first attempts at fully sung staged drama in
Bavaria.139 The music assumed a much higher profile in these works than in
previous Jesuit dramas offered in Bavaria: traditional choruses now joined a
wide variety of arias, ariosos, and few-voiced concertato items for voices and
instruments. Only the libretto for Theophilus survives (nevertheless contain-
ing numerous musical indications), but we are fortunate to have full scores
of Philothea, preserved in a manuscript from Regensburg and in a full score
139
A brief discussion of Philothea may be found in Arnold Schering, Geschichte des
Oratoriums (Leipzig: Breitkopf & Härtel, 1911; repr., Hildesheim: Olms, 1966), 137–
38, who allows it as an “oratorio-like” work given Silbermann’s indication “tam in
scena, sive sine scena.”

The libretto for Theophilius was printed by the estate of Cornelius Leysser in Munich
in 1643 (BSB, 4 Bavar. 2195-1). The music for Philothea was printed in Philothea, id
est Anima Deo Chara (Munich: Johann Jäcklin, 1669), extant in BSB, 4 Mus.pr. 84; an
earlier manuscript source is preserved in BZaR, Proske A.R. 781. For further details

book for the organ.

Marian columns in imitation of the Munich model were soon constructed in Vienna
(1647), Prague (1652), Freising (1674), and Konstanz (1683). Andrew H. Weaver, in
“Music in the Service of Counter-Reformation Politics: The Immaculate Conception at
the Habsburg Court of Ferdinand III (1637–1657),” Music & Letters 87 (2006): 374–
77, stresses the connection of the Viennese Mariensäule with the doctrine of the
Immaculate Conception promoted by the house of Habsburg.

The “Schutzmantelmadonna” was originally related to Mary as protectress from
plague; see, for example, Neithard Bulst, “Heiligenverehrung in Pestzeiten. Soziale
und religiöse Reaktionen auf die spätmittelalterlichen Pestepidemien,” in Andrea
Löther, et al., eds., Mundus in imagine. Bildersprache und Lebenswelten im Mittelalter

Dauid Jungkfraw mild/ Mild vnd gütig / Bleib vnser Zuflucht / vnser Schild/
Wir bitten dich demütig” (O tower of David, mild Virgin, kind and good,
be our refuge, our shield, we pray you humbly), a passage that also recalls
the Marian litany title Turris Davidica (Tower of David). The text of Zu dir
steht unser Hoffnung gantz is even more explicit, mentioning the column as
well as Mary’s role in defending Bavarian territory from foreign invasion. In
Example 4.3 I have laid the text under Khuen’s so-called Schutzmantel melody
and provided selected stanzas.

On the geographical centrality of the monument see Schattenhofer, Die Mariensäule in
München, 16. It should be noted that the songs associated with the Mariensäule bear
some relationship with others composed for the “Mutter der Barmherzigkeit” (Mother
of Charity), a Marian icon displayed at the Jesuit church in Innsbruck from 1639
onward. See Extended Reference 4.47 for discussion.

For a general study of the Munich Corpus Christi procession, see particularly Alois
Mitterwieser, Geschichte der Fronleichnamsprozession in Bayern (Munich: Knorr & Hirth,
1930). It should be stressed that Corpus Christi processions were commonly held in
many Catholic towns and cities in Bavaria, including the Jesuit bastion of Ingolstadt,
Landshut, Wasserburg, Deggendorf, and elsewhere; none of these, however, matched
the Munich procession in scope or extravagance.
29
The spectacle attracted a significant number of spectators from outside the city.
Hellgemayr, for example, notes that up to 21,000 “foreigners” attended the procession
in 1612. See Horst Leuchtmann, “Zeitgeschichtliche Aufzeichnungen des Bayerischen
Kapellaltisten Johannes Hellgemayr 1595–1633. Ein Beitrag zur Münchner Stadt- und
Musikgeschichte,” Oberbayerisches Archiv für vaterländische Geschichte 100 (1975): 168.
30
Wilhelm’s successor Maximilian I called for the elimination of theatrical “figures”
from the procession in 1598, the first year of his reign and a time when he strenuously
sought to bring court expenses under control; see his correspondence with the ducal
Hofkammer in BayHStA, GL 2684/383, May 13, 1598. However, this is not to imply
that the “full” procession was to be permanently discontinued.

The stationing of such heavy weaponry at the four principal city gates—
joined with the sounds of trumpets and military drums—also meant that
these high-amplitude sound waves would be relatively unimpeded along the
main routes into the city center: from the Sendlinger gate northward through
Sendlinger Gasse; from the Neuhauser gate eastward through Neuhauser
Gasse and Kaufinger Gasse; from the Schwabinger gate southward through
the vordere and untere Schwabinger Gasse, Weinstrasse, and Diemergasse;
and from the Isar gate westward through Im Tal. Whether intended or not,

The following material references Ludwig Müller’s ordinance, BSB, Cgm 1967.
47
Müller’s directive indicates in one place that the city fathers were to provide these
trumpeters at their own cost, or perhaps to engage their tower musicians for this
purpose, since these would not be needed to play during the procession itself; see
BSB, Cgm 1967, 115r–v. However, a later passage in the document implies that the
court trumpeter Bendinelli was responsible for procuring these trumpeters for the city
(480r).
48
Not included in the following is one additional representation recorded for the 1581
Corpus Christi procession, that of the parable of the Prodigal Son (Luke 15) presented
by the glove-makers (Handschuhmacher). Among the extravagant entourage of the
Prodigal Son were “two musicians [Spilleit] [. . .] in robes decorated with red and gold,
with lute and psaltery” (In rot vnd gelb gmosierten Röhkl mit der Lautten vnd Psalltter).

2. Moses and the Red Sea, presented by the butchers of the lower bank. Moses and
his company are followed by the great mass of Pharaoh’s army, many of them
costumed in the “Turkish” manner, naturally invoking the great contempo-
rary foe of Western Christendom. Mayer’s 1604 verse account describes the
accompanying musicians:50
Nach ihnen zween Schalmeyer kamen/ After them came two shawmists
Und auch ein Heerpaucker mit namen/ And a military drummer,
Ihre Bündt blab/ sonst grün bekleidt Headdress in blue, otherwise clad
in green
[. . .]
Auff gut Türckisch darauff kam mehr/ And more came in the Turkish
manner,
Ein Trometter geritten her/ A trumpeter rode up, heralding
Türckisch den Auffzug plasen thut/ The procession in the Turkish way.

Lasso. Drittes Buch: Dokumente. Erster Theil (Leipzig: Breitkopf & Härtel, 1895), notes
Ernst’s presence in the court chapel in from 1590 to 1594. He died in May 1596,
according to Leuchtmann’s research in “Zeitgeschichtliche Aufzeichnungen des
Bayerischen Kapellaltisten Johannes Hellgemayr,” 1:113–14.

are also mentioned for the year 1581 in BSB, Cgm 4408, 78v. On the use of trum-
pets in the 1612 procession, see Mitterwieser, Geschichte der Fronleichnamsprozession in
Bayern, 36. BayHStA, GL 2737/755, 234v, indicates that nine members of the trum-

71
BSB, Cgm 1967, 347r–v, 429v, 480v. Sadly nothing is known of the chapel’s musi-

his service during the 1603 procession, though: see his diary, qtd. in Leuchtmann,

followed by “angels” bearing the Arms of Christ’s Passion and “cymbals.” For the year
1604, Johann Mayer states in his Gewisse Beschreibung that preceding the Sacrament,
“Voran giengen etlich Engl/ Mit zimmeln vnd mit pfeiffen hell,” with no mention of

misbehavior in nighttime Good Friday processions, and shows that such processions
were sometimes moved to the daytime hours, or abolished outright: “The Catholic
foray into the night,” he argues, “must be regarded as a failure” (p. 201).

of pestilence were mandated by Maximilian I in August 1611 and again in 1627; see
ibid., 191, and AEM, Generalien, August 25, 1611. Hellgemayr further reports a

The Council endorsed intercession in its Decretum de invocatione, veneratione et rel-

Pötzl, in “Volksfrömmigkeit,” 939–40, cites some specific figures demonstrating the

some 200,000 in the early eighteenth.

elements of pilgrimage are stressed by Peter Hersche in “Die Lustreise der kleinen
Leute—zur geselligen Funktion der barocken Wallfahrt,” in Wolfgang Adam, ed.,
Geselligkeit und Gesellschaft im Barockzeitalter (Wiesbaden: Harrassowitz, 1997), 321–

Bavarian Pilgrimage Songs
Vernacular pilgrimage song enjoyed a long tradition in Bavaria as it did else-
where in Europe. One of the oldest and most prototypical German pilgrimage
songs, in fact, had its origins as a medieval Crusading song:
In gotes namen fara wir In God’s Name we go,
sîner gnâden gere wir His Grace we desire
nu helfe vns diu gotes kraft Now God’s power helps us,
vnd daz heilige grap And the holy Grave, Since God
dâ got selber inne lac, Kyrieleis.20 Himself lay within, Lord have
mercy.
It was likely the song’s familiarity that led Martin Luther to pen a contrafac-
tum of it teaching the Decalogue—Dies sind die heil’gen Zehn Gebot—and a mod-
ified form would appear in the earliest Catholic songbook of the confessional era,

Spaemann points to the close coordination of these verses with the regular
breathing of marching pilgrims; for this reason more elaborate verse forms
are uncommon. But the regular alternation of verse pairs also points to a
crucial feature of performance practice: the leadership of the Vorsänger. The
necessity of having a literate person—often a parish priest, schoolmaster, or
sacristan—sing the individual verses follows from the spectacular length of
many pilgrimage songs, narrating the histories and miracles of pilgrimage

Wolauff zu Gott mit Lobesschall is found here as well in songbooks published in Cologne
in 1599 (RISM B/VIII, 159905) and 1608 (160802), Konstanz in 1600 (160005), and
in many later Catholic collections. See Bäumker, Das katholische deutsche Kirchenlied,

The original melody, which appeared in songbooks from Konstanz (RISM B/VIII,
160005), Cologne (160802), and Neiss (162513) is here transcribed from Bäumker, Das
katholische deutsche Kirchenlied, 1:618. A song with the same incipit appeared in the
Munich Newe auserleßne Geistliche Lieder (Munich: Nikolaus Heinrich, 1604; RISM
B/VIII, 160415), but I have not yet been able to determine whether the melody is
identical to the Konstanz version. The new Straubing melody is transcribed from the
original exemplar, BSB, Liturg. 1207u.

The songbook carried the title Andächtiger Rueff für die Pilgram. Vom H. Bischoff

now lost), and contained songs with the incipits Ihr lieben Christen singet her, Wir grües-
sen dich von Hertzen sehr, Wir kommen wider zu dir her, and In Gottes Namen heben wir an.

The earliest appearance of Frew dich du Himmelskönigin was in the Konstanz songbook of
1600 (160005), but it would appear frequently thereafter in Catholic song collections.
Huetter would provide the direction “Im Thon: Frey Dich, du Himmelkhönigin, frey
dich Maria . . . oder in ainer anderen Melodey walfartsweiß khan gesungen werden,”
allowing for any known melody conforming with the prosody of his text. BZaR,

The song, associated with Mary’s nativity, first appears in an Innsbruck songbook of
1588 (158805) and then in the large-scale Cologne songbook of 1599 (159905), the
Konstanz songbook of 1600 (160005), the so-called Mainzer Cantual (160508), and
many other later volumes. See Bäumker, Das katholische deutsche Kirchenlied, 2:129,

The song is given in Franz Magnus Böhme, Altdeutsches Liederbuch: Volkslieder der
Deutschen nach Wort und Weise aus dem 12. bis zum 17. Jahrhundert (Leipzig: Breitkopf &

The text “Ewiger Vater im Himmelreich” is first extant in a Lutheran songbook printed
in Frankfurt an der Oder in 1568 (RISM 156804; DDKL ek20a); it is not notated but
refers the reader to the “Berner” or “Herzog Ernst” melody, a popular secular tune
(DDKL A278). The melodies later connected to this text form a different complex,
however (DDKL Ga3A and Ga3B), and resemble that given here in Example 6.5. See,
for example, the cantus part of the Tenorlied on this text by Jobst von Brant (1573)
(RISM B4257) and the songbooks a90 (RISM 158117), a119 (RISM 158817), and es1-2
(RISM 159302 and 159303, the source for Example 6.5).
42
The melody is adapted from that of Ewiger Vater in Himmelreich, found in the
Gesangbuch: Darinnen Christliche Psalmen, vnnd KirchenLieder D. MARTINI LVTHERI

The last of the Straubing pilgrimage songs, In Gottes Namen heben wir
an (Example 6.6), has no melodic indication whatsoever, but it was hardly
needed, as the song had been a fixture in Catholic songbooks up to this time:43
The reliance on contrafacture is also highly visible in Sommer’s Schöne
Christliche Creutz vnd Kirchen Gesänger (1615), which as we have seen contains
a large proportion of so-called Rüffen at its conclusion. In most cases the
contrafacture is not made plain by an Im Thon (to the tune of) designation,
but rather can be assumed from the similarity of a textual incipit to another
well-known song. For example, we find in this volume a complex of “three
other Rüff for Our Lady” which begin respectively with the incipits, “In
Gottes Namen heben wir an,” “In Gottes Namen singen wir hie,” and
43
Melody from Bäumker, Das katholische deutsche Kirchenlied, 2:147–48, no. 92. It had pre-
viously appeared in songbooks printed in Munich (the 1586 Gesang und Psalmenbuch),
Cologne (RISM B/VIII, 159905 and 160802), and Graz (160203).

again, “In Gottes Namen heben wir an,” all suggesting the melody indi-
cated in Example 6.6 or a variant thereof.
Such are the generic features of pilgrimage songs—long chains of brief
alternating verses for the Vorsänger and pilgrims, set to simple melodies,
sometimes contrafacta of well-known tunes. As the absolute number of
unique melodies sung by pilgrims was limited by contrafacture and the
need for simplicity, the true diversity of the repertory is more appar-
ent in the texts, which reflect the sheer variety of shrines and devotional
objects scattered across the Bavarian landscape. Pilgrimage song texts,
first of all, articulated ideas of collective, rather than individual, sup-
plication, contrasting with the more subjective quality of contemporary
geistliche Lieder. Second, songs narrated the histories and salvific power of
shrines for the benefit of actual and potential pilgrims, the length of the
form often allowing for exquisite detail. Third, pilgrimage songs—espe-
cially those for shrines of relatively recent vintage—engaged in confes-
sional propaganda and polemics, pointing to the influence or authorship
of Counter-Reformation elites. As we examine these aspects of Bavarian
pilgrimage song, it is well to bear in mind that the effectiveness or lon-
gevity of a particular song may in fact depend on its serving the needs of
both elites and commoners through the interaction of devotional content,
edification, and propaganda.

then, should not allow us to draw straightforward conclusions about the actual
sentiments of pilgrims. Apart from the common authorship of pilgrimage songs
by clerical elites and leadership by designated Vorsänger, shrines like those at
Bettbrunn, Neukirchen, Dettelbach, Amberg, and Taxa lay uncomfortably close
to Protestant cities and territories, allowing propagandistic elements in pilgrim-
age songs to mark confessional boundaries in unambiguous ways.
For pilgrims, both actual and potential, songs narrated the histories and
spiritual significance of specific shrines. These histories, which often allowed
a pilgrimage song to extend over hundreds of verses, reminded pilgrims of
the power of the sacred object, but when written or printed they advertised
the shrine to literate readers, who might then sing or read the texts aloud
to an even broader audience of potential pilgrims. The case of the school-
master Martin Huetter’s song for Neukirchen points to the importance of
song as “marketing” for specific pilgrimages.45 It was likely in 1611 that

As we have seen, it was used for a song for the Altötting pilgrimage. It also appears,
however, with a text on the Decalogue in the Regensburg Obsequiale of 1570 (the old-
est “official” Catholic diocesan songbook in Germany), and with the text “Gegrüßt
seist du Maria rein” in songbooks printed in Mainz, Konstanz, and Cologne. See

contention in this 1608 visitation report was the reining in of pilgrimages and proces-

St. Martin and the ducal government as ill-organized and a distraction from the more
centralized and solemn events organized by St. Martin. The parish priest of St. Jodok
evidently took it upon himself to continue these processions and pilgrimages despite
their official curtailment.

an engraved bird’s-eye view of the pilgrimage site (p. 280), showing that the organist
had his own house directly adjacent to the shrine. BayHStA, KL Andechs 34, contain-
ing records of salaries for the Andechs monastery’s employees, includes regular pay-
ments for an organist between 1584 and 1590, although his duties are not specified. It
was not uncommon for organs to be procured even for smaller pilgrimage shrines: note,
for example, the building of organs for the Marian shrines of Thalkirchen in 1631
and Ramersdorf in 1645. See Bernhard M. Hoppe, “München-Thalkirchen,” in Peter
Pfister and Hans Ramisch, eds., Marienwallfahrten im Erzbistum München und Freising

A 28-folio parchment codex from the monastery indicates that instrumental music
(“Hic sonent rursum Instrumenta Musices”) was performed after the display of vari-
ous categories of relics in turn: those of holy widows and virgins, confessors, martyrs,
Apostles, the Virgin Mary, and Christ himself (the monastery held thorns of his crown
and pieces of the True Cross). BayHStA, KL Andechs 33, “Ordo demonstrandi rel-
iquias monasterii in monte sancto Andecensi.” I have discussed this 28-folio parch-
ment codex in greater detail in my Music and Religious Identity in Counter-Reformation
Augsburg, 1580–1630 (Aldershot: Ashgate, 2004), 265–66.

Likely the pilgrims heard Mass at the church of St. Wilgefortis at Neufahrn, which
itself had been a modest pilgrimage destination from the late fifteenth century
onward. For an iconographical study of the cult of St. Wilgefortis (also known as St.
“Kümmernis”) see Koraljka Kos, “St. Kümmernis and Her Fiddler,” Studia musicologica
19 (1977): 251–66.
