All of the recordings are being released successively as lieder collections in 3 attractive CD boxes. Each box includes a comprehensive book, with lied texts, source information, and short biographies of the singers and their accompanists. With a colorful combination of child soloists, children's choirs, concert singers and instrumental ensembles, this CD will make not only children want to sing.

Evang. Kinderkantorei Stuttgart
A total of 280 children sing in the Vaihinger Kantorei (Vaihingen Children’s and Youth Choir). It is divided into eight groups, including 80 children who sing in three pre-school children’s choirs. Except for the very small children (about 3 ½ years old), all of the groups frequently sing together with the Vaihinger Kantorei. The Kindergarten choirs are conducted by members of the Jugendkantorei – thus individual choral singing moves seamlessly to the conducting of a choral group. From Kinderchor II, 45 singers aged 9–13 sang on the present CD. The Vaihingen choirs are all conducted by Gabriele Timm-Bohm, assisted by Rainer Bohm as répétiteur, as well as by a church music apprentice. Personal details

Wolfgang König
| 1947Wolfgang König (born 1947 in Eslohe/Sauerland) first studied school music at the University of Music in Cologne and then majored in trombone, followed by a master's degree in musicology, German studies and sociology. His further musical career was characterised by various stylistic directions: he played both early and contemporary music, played jazz in a big band and, even as a teenager, often took over the masses of his father, who was an organist. All these styles also influenced the nature of his own music and appear again and again in the children's musicals. He has been the director of the Beckum-Warendorf music school since 1979 and has also conducted a mixed choir and the school's large symphony orchestra since then. Personal details
