move two years later to Frankfurt an der Oder as a
Stadtpfeifer (1606–11). He published Newe lateinische
und deutsche Gesenge auf die vornembsten Feste und
etliche Sontage im Jahr nebst nachfolgenden schönen
Fantasien, Paduanen und Galliarden lustig zu singen und
gar lieblich auf allerley art Instrumenten zu
gebrauchen (Stettin, 1597; some works ed. in Denkmäler
der Musik in Pommern, ii, 1931). It comprises 28
settings of sacred texts for five to eight voices and
32 five- and six-part instrumental pieces.

The catalog raisonné comprises 21 titles, and at least
16 books have been preserved. Essentially, these are
occasional works. Lütkemann's main work, the Stettiner
Druck from 1597, has been preserved in the Herzog
August Library in Wolfenbüttel , with the exception of
two voice books (for the 7th and 8th voice) . This
print comprises 28 motets and 32 instrumental movements
(fantasies, Paduans, gallillons). The motets vary
between the foothills of the Wittenberg schoolwith her
style of choral processing based on Thomas Stoltzer and
modern double choir. The instrumental movements are
among the earliest printed ensemble movements. The
abundance of material allows comparison and general
conclusions to be made about the key handling and
notation of vocal and instrumental music of that
time.
