Ludwig Senfl was a favourite composer of Martin Luther and one of the leading musicians of the age.
Martin Luther:
"Next to theology I give to music the highest place and honour. Music is the art of the prophets, the only art that can calm the agitations of the soul; it is one of the most magnificent and delightful presents God has given us."
