Music for Martin Luther

Although Ludwig Senfl (1486-1542) – court composer to Emperor Maximilian and later to Duke

Albrecht IV of Bavaria – always served Catholic masters, he was in close contact with Martin

Luther, the great Reformer; from Luther he received a personal letter requesting music for a

particular text.

Here Wilfried Rombach knowledgeably assembles Senfl works with an “interdenominational”

association and a close personal connection with Martin Luther.
