Martin Luther (1483–1546) was not a musician in the contemporary sense but a seminal figure in the Protestant Reformation. While the list of works you've provided blends music with religious and philosophical content, it's important to clarify that Luther's contributions to music lie primarily in his hymnody and his role in fostering congregational singing within the Christian Church. Luther himself wrote several hymns, the most famous being "Ein feste Burg ist unser Gott" (A Mighty Fortress Is Our God), which has been an enduring anthem of faith for Protestant Christians. Beyond this, he encouraged the use of music and hymns in the vernacular so that the congregation could participate more fully in worship, a revolutionary idea at the time.

Luther's influence extends into the realm of music through the Lutheran chorale, a musical genre that significantly impacted subsequent generations of composers, including Johann Sebastian Bach. Bach's compositions, which are steeped in Lutheran theological ideas and texts, often include chorales and hymn settings that trace back to Luther's initial reformative efforts. Thus, while Martin Luther himself was not producing music in a modern sense, his theological and musical reforms have had a lasting impact on the Christian church's musical tradition, echoing through the ages in the works of classical composers and in the hymnody sung by congregations worldwide.
