When the gothic Hamburg cathedral was demolished in the course of the secularization (1805), a musical tradition of nearly 1200 years came to an end. During Catholic and (since 1529) Protestant times, the cathedral choirmasters and organists had made notable contributions to the music life of the city. Their biographies and works are discussed as well as matters of performance practice.
