Johann Hermann Schein was a German composer of sacred and secular vocal music. He was one of the earliest composers, along with Michael Praetorius and Heinrich Schütz, to bring the Italian Baroque style into German music. During his lifetime, he was considered one of the three finest German composers, together with Samuel Scheidt and Schütz, who was his close friend.
