In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, the cantors of the St. Thomas School and Church in Leipzig could be counted among the most significant German composers of their times. But what attracted these artists – from Seth Calvisius to J.S. Bach to Johann Adam Hiller – to the music school and choir and inspired them to explore new repertoire of the highest standing? And how did the cantors influence the musical profile of the school – a profile that often became a bone of contention between school and city hall?
The success of the St. Thomas School was not a foregone conclusion; its history is replete with challenges and setbacks as well as triumphs. The school was caughtbetween the conflicting interests of enthusiastic mayors and townspeople, who wanted to showcase the city’s musical culture, and opposing parties, including jealous rectors and elitist sponsors, who argued for the traditional subordination of the cantorate to the school system.
