Grief and Elation

Available for 24 days

Donald Macleod sees Schütz endure the death of his wife, after only six years of marriage, and explores the music he composed to mark her parting. Schütz makes the difficult decision to send his two daughters away to live with their grandmother, but he's also able to find inspiration and joy when he embarks on a new tour of Italy.
