Info for Daser: Missa Pater noster & Other Works

Ludwig Daser’s life and work encompassed both Catholic and Lutheran courts, at Munich and Stuttgart respectively. Cinquecento’s programme—which, besides the substantial Missa Pater noster, includes a selection of Latin motets and German chorale settings—illustrates a variety of styles and genres from both, offering a welcome introduction to this lesser-known master from the sixteenth century.

Of the three composers and chapelmasters at the Munich court chapel during the sixteenth century—Ludwig Senfl (1489/91-1543), Ludwig Daser (1526-1589) and Orlande de Lassus (1530/32-1594)—Daser has to this day remained the least known. This may come as a surprise, for it was he who, between Senfl and Lassus, made a decisive contribution to the development of the Munich court chapel choir into a professional ensemble under Duke Albrecht V of Bavaria. The fact that Daser and his work were quickly forgotten after his death cannot be blamed on him personally. His considerable legacy was simply eclipsed by the posthumous fame of other composers, who continue to have a greater impact on our perception today of the musical landscape of sixteenth-century southern Germany—Senfl, Lassus and Leonhard Lechner (1553-1606) being among the best-known.

Daser’s compositions, however, are by no means inferior in quality to those of his better-known contemporaries. His surviving oeuvre includes twenty-two Masses, twenty-six motets, thirty-three Protestant chorale settings, two Magnificats, a Passion and several smaller organ works. The beginnings of this impressive life’s work were quite modest. Daser came from a family of Munich fishermen who, as purveyors to the court, were closely connected with the Bavarian ducal family. He received his musical education at the Munich court chapel, first as a chorister and later probably as a composition pupil of Senfl. After his voice broke, in 1542 he began studying theology at the University of Ingolstadt. In 1550 he was called back to the Munich court chapel as a tenor and composer, and in 1552 he was made chapelmaster, a post which he retained for ten years. This period was overshadowed by many difficulties for him, in part due to disciplinary problems among the musicians of the Munich court chapel, but also because of his increasing inclination towards Protestantism. It is therefore not surprising that when in 1556 Lassus—by then internationally renowned—was engaged as a chapel singer and composer for the secular repertoire of the Munich court, Daser’s fate was effectively sealed. His honourable dismissal followed in 1562, officially justified by health problems. ....
