The aim of this project is to give an account of the history of polyphonic sacred music in the heartlands of the reformation. Until today it is surprising how widespread this rather challenging type of music was in the homeland of Lutheran hymns, a fact that, though acknowledged by scholars, has never been subject to systematic inquiry. To begin, the impact of the reformation on Central German figural music culture will be examined, its consolidation and confessionalization traced in Wittenberg, Zwickau and St. Joachimsthal. At the centre of this project stand the prince schools of Meißen, Grimma, Pforta, and Schwerin where, ca. 1550-1580, the largest contemporary bodies of figural music where compiled. It will be argued that, after the decline of Wittenberg in 1547, the prince schools inherited the tradition of protestant figural music, maintaining certain repertoire traditions as well as establishing figural singing as a kind of general knowledge. To gain a distinct picture of the figural singing at the prince schools the historical formation of the repertoires as well as the way manuscripts, prints, and convolutes were used will be examined in detail. Finally, the influence of the prince schools on Central German music culture in general will be analysed for the time from ca. 1580 to 1600, determining the number of prince school alumni amongst Central German leading church musicians and investigating the maintaining of repertoire traditions in representative contemporary source bodies (Pirna, Löbau, Zwickau, Neustadt a. O., Udestedt). On the occasion of the reformation anniversary in 2017 the project aims to provide an up-to-date account of 16th century Lutheran church music, while shedding light on a musical heritage that has long been neglected on behalf of confessionally distinct pictures of the musical past of Central Germany.

该项目的目的是讲述宗教改革中心地带的复调神圣音乐的历史。直到今天，令人惊讶的是，这种颇具挑战性的音乐类型在路德宗赞美诗的故乡竟然如此普遍，这一事实虽然得到了学者们的承认，但从未受到过系统的研究。首先，我们将考察宗教改革对德国中部人物音乐文化的影响，其巩固和忏悔化可以追溯到维滕贝格、茨维考和圣约阿希姆斯塔尔。该项目的中心是迈森 (Meißen)、格里马 (Grimma)、普福尔塔 (Pforta) 和什未林 (Schwerin) 的王子学校，其中约1550-1580 年，当代最大的人物音乐团体在此编制。有人认为，1547年维滕贝格衰落后，王子学校继承了新教人物音乐的传统，保留了某些曲目传统，并将人物歌唱确立为一种常识。为了清楚地了解王子学校的人物歌唱，我们将详细研究曲目的历史形成以及手稿、印刷品和曲子的使用方式。最后，我们将分析大约从公元 1000 年起王子学校对中德音乐文化的总体影响。 1580 年至 1600 年，确定德国中部主要教会音乐家中王子学校校友的数量，并调查当代代表性来源机构（皮尔纳、洛鲍、茨维考、诺伊施塔特 a. O.、乌德施泰特）保留曲目传统的情况。值此 2017 年宗教改革周年之际，该项目旨在提供对 16 世纪路德教会音乐的最新描述，同时揭示长期以来因德国中部音乐历史的独特图像而被忽视的音乐遗产。
