Israelsbrunnlein is one of the most significant motet collection in German music of the 17th century, composed by Johann Hermann Schein, who was certainly the most important Thomaskantor prior to Johann Sebastian Bach. Among the 26 pieces, composed in the "Italian-Madrigalische Manir" most of them are based on Old Testament texts, hence the name of the collection. Originally written for festive or solemn occasions, such as weddings, funerals or graduations, they unite madrigal style with the polyphonic art of sacred motets.
