This site will eventually hold details of a book which will be
finished before the end of 2008 dealing with the social, political and musical background to the life of the Swiss composer
Ludwig Sennfl, comments on his works in every genre and editions of some of his music. It will
be available to buy, as will the music (parts may be ordered in any clef also) and costs will be posted as soon as they
are available. I shall gradually publish extracts and report on progress as the work nears completion.

This work will be a cross between serious scholarship (complete with
footnotes, references, bibliography and discography) and the telling of the story of the person behind the music. Why
the two n's in his name? There are around fifteen versions of the spelling of his name, but Sennfl is the one he and
his closest friends commonly used, and he also used it acrostically in his autobiographical song. This is not the spelling
which has been used most frequently by subsequent generations however, so you may find more references to the spelling
Senfl. Ludwig Sennfl was born in Switzerland but spent his entire life working in and around South Germany. Lots more and
more pages to follow......................
