Speer: Sonata no. 16 for 5 brass instruments

Georg Daniel Speer (2 July 1636, Breslau—5 October 1707, Göppingen) was a German Baroque composer, music theorist, and writer. Born in Breslau (now Wrocław, Poland), Speer studied at the Maria Magdalenen Gymnasium before traveling extensively throughout southeastern Europe, gaining valuable practical experience as a musician. Speer held various musical and educational posts throughout his career. From 1664 to 1666, he served as a church musician in Stuttgart, followed by positions as schoolteacher and church musician in Göppingen (1667–68). He later worked in Grossbottwar and Leonberg near Stuttgart before settling permanently in Göppingen in 1673 as a teacher at the Lateinschule. In 1694, he returned there as Kollaborator and was eventually appointed Kantor. As a composer, Speer is particularly noted for his music for brass instruments—especially trombones—as well as for surviving keyboard miniatures. His instrumental works had a lasting influence on German Baroque trombone repertoire for more than a century. He is perhaps best known today for Sonata No. 29 from Die Bänkelsängerlieder, a piece frequently performed by brass ensembles at weddings and ceremonial occasions. Speer also composed sacred vocal music and several notable quodlibet collections, including Recens Fabricatus Labor (1685) and further collections from 1687 and 1688. His legacy endures through both his compositions and his writings, which together provide a rich portrait of Baroque musical culture in southern Germany. This edition of Sonata No. 15 from Recens Fabricatus Labor includes substitute parts for the modern brass quintet, making the work accessible to contemporary performers.
