Description

Kurt Thomas's Kleine Geistliche Chormusik is a collection of 20 motets that covers the whole of the liturgical year from Advent until Remembrance Day, including church-related occasions such as marriage, consecration day and funeral. Most motets are composed for four-part choir a cappella, some of them, however, are accompanied by organ, violin and/or flute. Nos. 2 and 5 are also scored for soprano solo and No. 18 for baritone (ad lib.). The exact scoring is often kept open since Thomas as a choirmaster knew about locally differing resources. Regular divisions of the choir into two or even three individual parts, however, seem to call for an appropriate number of singers. The often-quoted Lutheran chorales appear for instance in the form of a cantus firmus or in unison, giving the opportunity of including the congregation in liturgical usage. The performance in concert, however, can also be rewarding by emphasizing the diversity and suspenseful contrasts of this music. The new edition combines all previous single editions in a modern and easy-to-read engraving image.

  • Machet die Tore weit | Advent
  • Daran ist erschienen die Liebe Gottes | Christmas
  • Ist Gott for uns | New Year
  • Mache dich auf, werde licht | Advent and Epiphany
  • Niemand hat größere Liebe | Remembrance Day
  • Fürwahr, er trug unsre Krankheit | Passion
  • Der Tod ist verschlungen in den Sieg | Easter
  • Gott fähret auf mit Jauchzen | Ascension Day
  • Schmücket das Fest | Pentecost
  • Wir wollen sing'n ein Lobgesang | St. John's Day
  • Die Gnade unsers Herrn | Trinity Sunday
  • Jauchzet Gott, alle Lande | Harvest Festival
  • Erhalt uns, Herr, bei deinem Wort | Reformation Day
  • Herr, sei mir gnädig | Day of Repentance
  • Gott wird abwischen alle Tränen | Funeral
  • Herr, ich habe lieb die Stätte deines Hauses | Consecration Day
  • Fürchte dich nicht | Confirmation
  • Wenn ich mit Menschen- and mit Engelzungen redete | Marriage
  • Herr Gott, dich loben alle wir | Michaelmas
  • Nun freut euch, lieben Christen g'mein | Cantate Sunday
