Hans Sachs (1494-1576) was the most famous of the Meistersingers, a group of master lyricists charged with maintaining the song forms of the Middle Ages in Germany. As such, this art represents something of a continuation of that of the troubadours, although here the themes tend to be moral in nature. Of course, Sachs was later immortalized by Richard Wagner in Die Meistersinger.

Other composers represented here are Caspar Othmayr (1515-1553), Hans Newsidler (1508/9-c.1563), Thoinot Arbeau (1520-1595), Hans Judenkünig (1450-1526).
