Hieronymus Praetorius

Hieronymus Praetorius (August 10, 1560 – January 27, 1629) was a north German composer and organist of the late Renaissance and very early Baroque eras. It is not known if he was related to the much more famous Michael Praetorius; however, the Praetorius family had many distinguished musicians throughout the 16th and 17th centuries.
