Günter Graulich celebrates his 100th birthday

/0 Comments/in /by

“With music, things become easier; they happen more quickly. A song can have the power of an icebreaker.” On July 2, 2026, Günter Graulich celebrates his 100th birthday. Finding the right words to describe this remarkable man, even after many years of acquaintance, is both difficult and surprisingly easy. Difficult, because it’s hard to capture the “polyphony” of his rich, colorful life, with his extraordinary range of professional and private pursuits – and yet easy, because Günter Graulich is such an approachable and engaging person!

The Missa Papae Marcelli and its context

/0 Comments/in , /by

The origin of the myth surrounding the mass dates back to 1607, when the musician and theorist Agostino Agazzari, in his treatise on the basso continuo, directly relates the composition of the Papae Marcelli to the issue of the intelligibility of the text in polyphonic works.
