Sacred Choral Music of the 19th century
This collection is to be recommended as an addition to the current choral repertoire; it contains 19th-century a cappella music both Catholic and Protestant, with German and Latin words. There are short choral pieces in the straightforward chordal style, which impress with their homophonic writing, enabling the words to be understood clearly. This edition, rich in its variety, is especially valuable for small choirs, as it makes no severe demands on the performers; it also contains music for the Liturgy of the Mass and for each season of the Church Year.
