Summary:

Johann Jacob Froberger’s »Meditation, faist svr ma Mort fvtvre«. On the Composer’s 400th Birthday – Froberger’s Meditation FbWV 620, 1 is one of most programmatic of his keyboard works, which are among the very first examples of programme music. A completely new aspect of this work for its time is the composer’s reflection on his own death, culminating in the motto »Do you think of dying, Froberger?« The work’s key and its repertoire of figures and harmonic connections are subordinated to this theme.
