During his lifetime, Johann Kaspar Kerll (1627 Adorf/Saxony - 1693
Munich/Germany) was a respected organist and composer. Archduke Leopold
Wilhelm heard about his talent and invited him to come to Vienna where
he studied with the court chapelmaster, Giovanni Valentini, among
others. After further studies in Italy, employment in Brussels and
Munich, he became imperial court organist in Vienna on the side of
Alessandro Poglietti.  During
his stay in Vienna, he composed the Modulatio organica super Magnificat
(1686). The Magnificat on the 2nd tone which is the musical example is
included in this publication. The collection consists of a cycle of
Versets with a prelude, five fugues and a finale on each of the
Magnificat tones. The illustration shows an engraving with a portrait
of Kerll. (E. Stadler)
