This rich palette is a far cry from Switzerland of the late 18th century. Though the country had a rich musical heritage through Medieval and Renaissance times, it was the Reformation that in many ways stunted its musical growth. At least this is the common perception. Sadly, the study of western musical history does not spend a lot of time on the music of Switzerland. In the field of church music, recent research has kindled an awareness of musical activities that operated in a parallel fashion to the restraints imposed by the church; particularly in Zurich.
