The Moravian Church (Unitas Fratrum) is a world-wide Protestant denomination tracing its roots to John Hus, a Czech priest and reformer who was martyred for his reform views in 1415. His followers founded a church dedicated to simple living and piety, seeking to follow the Sermon on the Mount. After widespread persecution, some of their descendants found refuge in Saxony (now Eastern Germany), and after a renewal experience in 1727, sent missionaries all over the known world. With them they took their passion for the Gospel, their dedication to education, and their love of music. Moravians first settled in North America in Georgia in 1735, and moved that settlement to Pennsylvania in 1741, and later added settlements in North Carolina. The Moravian musical tradition includes emphasis on congregational song, instrumental music, and choral music accompanied by chamber orchestra as well as organ. Moravian ministers and teachers wrote (and continue to write) a great deal of music for performance by accomplished amateurs -- people who had other "day jobs". Ernst Wilhelm Wolf, while not a Moravian himself, was popular among the Moravians of the 18th and 19th centuries. His Easter Cantata is found in manuscript and printed copies in Moravian musical collections in Germany, North America, Labrador, and South Africa.
