Geistliche Chor-Music

This collection features twenty-nine motets by Heinrich Schütz, a pivotal figure in early Baroque music, arranged for various vocal combinations and optional basso continuo. The scholarly edition by Andrew Thomas Kuster modernizes the original 1648 part books, presenting them in contemporary clefs and retaining original note values. It includes English translations, keyboard reductions for easier rehearsals, and critical commentary. Notable pieces like "Selig sind die Toten" and "Die mit Tränen säen" highlight Schütz's profound musical legacy.
