Praetorius, a highly distinguished German composer, theorist, and organist, "was the most versatile and wide-ranging German composer of his generation and one of the most prolific, especially of works based on Protestant hymns. He is also important as a theorist, notably through his Syntagma musicum. . According to Blume, Praetorius's church music, as well as his theoretical works, can be assigned to five periods, which partly overlap. The first embraces Motectae et psalmi and Megalynodia Sionia, which, according to Praetorius's preface, originated at Regensburg in 1602. .
