I've had fragments of two pieces by Heinrich Schütz stuck in my head for
years, after hearing them once. I'd be very grateful if folks here would
tell me what they are. My edition of Barlow and Morgenstern is devoid of
Schütz, alas! A PDF of their incipits, as I remember them, can be found at

<http://mikea.ath.cx/faxprint/mike/lilypond/schuetz.pdf>.

The lilypond notation for them is:

%=========================================================
% two fragments from works by Heinrich Schütz
%=========================================================

{
\time 3/4
r2 a4 | a2 a4 | e' g' f' | e' c' d' | e'2 \breathe
b4 | c'2 d'4 | e' g' fis' | a' c'' b' | a'2 \breathe
a'4 | b'2 fis'4 | g'2 d'4 | e' f' d' | c'2 \breathe
e'4 | d' g' f' | e' a' f' | e' c' b | a2 r4 \bar "||"
}

\new Staff
\with {
\remove "Note_heads_engraver"
\consists "Completion_heads_engraver"
}

\relative c''{

}

composer = \markup \center-align { "Heinrich Schuetz" }
}

Sorry, Mike, but I don't read code. Could you
possibly post a link to some actual notation?

Sorry! I failed to note that you had already
posted this. Both look very much like Chorale
melodies, which could make it very difficult to
pin them down to specific arrangements.
