Browse piano sheets by Martin Luther on Zen Virtual Piano. Martin Luther was born on 10 November 1483 in Eisleben in the Holy Roman Empire, not into the peasantry as he liked to claim, but into a relatively prosperous mining family. His father, Hans, gave him a good education, intending him to become a lawyer, and sent him to Latin schools in Mansfeld, then Magdeburg in 1497 and Eisenach in 1498, which focused on grammar, logic and rhetoric. Schools built on grammar, logic and rhetoric put language and argument at the centre of his schooling. A father’s plan for a law career set the direction of the first schools, and the later turn to the monastery cut across it. In 1505 he made a decision that changed the course of his life: he decided to enter the Augustinian monastery in Erfurt, and his search for a merciful God and His Will culminated in the development of the Reformation of the Church. As a monk in Erfurt and a temporary lecturer at Wittenberg, his education continued under his teachers Jodocus Trutfetter and Bartholomaeus Arnoldi of Usingen. Two bachelor’s degrees and a doctorate show a theologian whose teaching was backed by formal study. In 1508 he began teaching theology at the University of Wittenberg, receiving two bachelor’s degrees, one in biblical studies on 9 March 1508 and another in the Sentences of Peter Lombard in 1509, and he was awarded his Doctor of Theology on 19 October 1512. While at the Wartburg he began his German translation of the New Testament, which was followed by the Old Testament and eventually the landmark Luther Bible of 1534 and 1545. His hymns influenced the development of singing in Protestant churches. A Bible in German and hymns that influenced singing in Protestant churches put his words in people’s mouths. His marriage to Katharina von Bora, a former nun, set a model for the practice of clerical marriage, allowing Protestant clergy to marry. A marriage that set a model and hymns that influenced singing show influence moving from doctrine into practice.
