Valerius Otto - Prague Dances 1611 - Antiquarius Consort Praga

The musician and composer Valerius Otto was born on 25th July 1579 in Leipzig to a family of a teacher employed at the local church of St Thomas. All we know about his life is gleaned from a few period sources. We know that in the summer of 1592 he enrolled with his brother at Leipzig university. In the spring of 1609 Otto received an "author's" fee from the Leipzig town council for a composition he had written for them. He doubtless began composing before this time, however. As a musician he entered the services of Georg Ludwig von Leuchtenberg. In the introduction to his printed collection Newe Paduanen, Galliarden, Intraden und Currenten, Nach Englischer und Frantzösischer Art, the only surviving and complete collection of his works containing a total of 62 compositions for five voices, published in Leipzig in 1611, Valerius Otto introduces himself as an "organist in the Prague Old Town, at the Church of Our Lady before Tyn". It is from here that we have the only written source indicating that he worked at this Prague church at the beginning of the 17th century. Otto's specific role here, however, cannot be determined. We can only surmise that he played in this church, evidently during German Lutheran divine services. But how long he lived in the city and whether he was paid for his services, is unknown. Otto accompanied his employer, the Leuchtenberg landgrave, on many journeys throughout Europe, however, he probably did not return to Leipzig. He sold his house here through a lawyer in October 1611. He died some time after 1612. Otto's instrumental works have survived in certain other collections from a later period. An entablature of his works may be found in a German tablature manuscript from 1619. The anthology of the Allegrezza musicale, published in 1620 in Frankfurt, contains, among other things, seven pavanes, one intrada and one courante by Otto. His organ canzona is contained in a manuscript codex from the mid-17th century housed today in the Minorite monastery in Vienna. (CD-booklet)
