- Instrumental parts (strings, winds) available as Print on Demand

- Geistliche Chor-Music now available complete in two volumes

With the publication of the six and seven-part motets, a revised version of the Geistliche Chor-Music is now complete.  As Schütz wrote in his foreword to the collection, all parts to the motets can be performed vocally and/or instrumentally.

These motets offer smaller choirs and ensembles new possibilities to perform these works, based on historically-informed performance practice.  The basso continuo realisation follows the composer’s intention of using the score merely as a basis for performance, but with its relatively simple realisation, it also allows performers to create their own version.
