Quick Summary

The Tabulatur-Buch (1650) is a significant work by German composer Samuel Scheidt. This collection contains harmonized accompaniments for 100 sacred songs and psalms. Its publication reflects the increasing practice of congregational singing in Lutheran churches.1

Tablature itself is a form of musical notation that indicates which string, fret, key, or finger to use, rather than the specific tone to be sounded. Scheidt's Tabulatura nova (1624) was also a landmark publication, using staff notation for organ music and featuring a variety of pieces, including variations on chorale melodies.21
