1ALBERTAZZI
3schools; he composed the words to many of his own hymns and songs, eight collections of which were printed by Paschen, Meuse, and Reussner, under the patronage of the Emperor of Germany, the King of Poland, and the Kurfürst of Brandenburg. These collections were so popular that several editions were published by the author, and others were issued, without his permission, at Königsberg and Dantzig under the title of "Poetisch-musicalisches Lustwäldlein." These latter are very rare; their original title was: Erster (Zweiter, etc.) Theil der Arien etlicher theils geistlicher theils weltlicher, zur Andacht, guten Sitten, keuscher Liebe und Ehren Lust, dienender Lieder zum singen und spielen gesetzt. This is followed by separate dedications to each part, which are valuable on account of the principles on musical art given in them at a time when a reform in music was taking place by means of the basso continuo. He was author of the manuscript, Tractatus de modo conficiendi contrapunctum, at that time owned by Valentine Hausmann. He composed for the centenary of the Königsberg University, Aug. 28, 1644, a Comödien-Musik, afterwards given in the palace of the Kurfürst, thus becoming, after Heinrich Schütz, the founder of German opera. This comedy was never published and is now lost. A Te Deum of his was published Sept. 12, 1647. Albert's editions were originally in folio, but an octavo edition was published by A. Profe, of Leipsic, in 1657.—Allgem. d. Biogr.; Fétis; Grove; Mendel; Winterfeld, Der evang. Kirchengesang, ii. 136.
