Teutoniam dudum belli (SWV 338) is a 7-part song in Latin (5 singers, 2 violins and b.c.), celebrating the flourishing of peace after a period of war’s destruction in Silesia (= central European area, part of the history of Germany, Czechia, Poland).
Date (with high probability) November 1621. A peace ceremony took place in Breslau/Wroclaw, at which the Duke of Saxony (Schütz's employer) presided, and for which Schütz provided the official music.
The song (in partbooks) was published in 1641 by Ambrosius Profe (a Breslau musician) in a florilegium of 'Italianate' concerto's (published in Leipzig). It's the colloquial counterpart of Schütz' official music for the Ceremony: Syncharma Musicum (SWV 49).
The city 'Budorgis' in the text refers to Breslau, the name appears in Ptolemaeus Geographica.
At one place the singers sing 'filium' (son): should be 'Silium' (a reference to Silesia).
