Johann Rosenmüller Ensemble

The Johann Rosenmüller Ensemble is a German early music group specializing in Baroque sacred works, particularly those tied to Lutheran traditions and historical worship contexts. Named after the 17th-century composer Johann Rosenmüller, whose intricate sacred music they’ve championed (like their *Marienvesper* recordings), the ensemble often collaborates with institutions like the Knabenchor Hannover (Hannover Boys' Choir) and performs repertoire spanning lesser-known composers such as Matthias Knüpfer and Daniel Bollius alongside heavyweights like Michael Praetorius and Telemann. Their releases, like *Machet die Tore weit* and *Verleih uns Frieden*, reflect a focus on reconstructing historical services—think Christmas at Leipzig’s Thomaskirche or Reformation-era psalms—with scholarly rigor and warm, expressive performances. They’re deeply invested in the intersection of theology and music, as seen in projects like *Davon ich singen und sagen will*, which explores Martin Luther’s musical legacy.
