Outline of Final Research Achievements	Samuel Scheidt (1587-1654) is sometimes referred to as “the father of German organ music.” The purpose of this research is to reevaluate him as a composer by examining his choral composition “Cantiones Sacrae” (1620). The following methods were employed: (1) digitization of “Complete works of Samuel Scheidt, Vol. 4” (1933); (2) examination and digitization of hand-written manuscripts; (3) creation of a bilingual edition (German to Japanese); (4) analysis, focusing on “Vater unser im Himmelreich” and “Christe, der du bist Tag und Licht”; (5) creation of performance editions; (6) performance and recording of the music based on the performance editions; and (7) research on how the music has been passed on. There are plans to release items 3 through 6 online.
