Canzonetta in G Major (BuxWV 171) for Brass Quartet - YouTube Mike Magatagan

Dietrich Buxtehude is probably most familiar to modern classical music audiences as the man who inspired the young Johann Sebastian Bach to make a lengthy pilgrimage to Lubeck, Buxtehude's place of employment and residence for most of his life, just to hear Buxtehude play the organ. But Buxtehude was a major figure among German Baroque composers in his own right. Though we do not have copies of much of the work that most impressed his contemporaries, Buxtehude nonetheless left behind a body of vocal and instrumental music which is distinguished by its contrapuntal skill, devotional atmosphere, and raw intensity. He helped develop the form of the church cantata, later perfected by Bach, and he was just as famous a virtuoso on the organ. This canzonetta in G major is the only multi-sectional canzonetta among the extant Buxtehude canzonetti. It is in two sections. It is links together two brief fugal passages with related subjects. The second section is a 12/8 variation on the first section which is in common time. The two fugal passages are separated by only a couple of measures of free material.
