Georg Joseph
About
Georg Joseph was a German Baroque composer who served at the court of prince-bishop of Breslau. He was from 1657 to 1668 the musical collaborator of Johann Schefflers who published a collection of sacred songs titled Heilige Seelen-Lust oder geistliche Hirten-Lieder der in ihren Jesum verliebten Psyche, printed by the Baumannschen Drukkerey in 1657. 184 of the 200 Melodies with a bass line were written by Joseph. They were expressive and used occasional melismas to interpret the text.
