Freiburger Chorbuch
The Freiburger Chorbuch can be used in a wide variety of liturgical-musical settings. The collection of over 150 works, mainly for mixed choir (SATB), was commissioned by the Department for Church Music of the Archdiocese of Freiburg. It is the first Catholic choral collection which offers church choirs suitable literature in one comprehensive anthology based on the revised liturgy of the Second Vatican Council.
The other 150 works in the Freiburger Chorbuch 1 (of easy to medium difficulty) also contain a wealth of music suitable for all church choirs.

Jürgen Essl
| 1961Jürgen Essl received his musical training in Stuttgart, Bordeaux and Vienna, where his teachers included Ludger Lohmann and Michael Radulescu. After completing his studies he was a church musician in Sigmaringen before being appointed professor of organ at the Lübeck Musikhochschule and in 2003 at the Stuttgart Musikhochschule. He received grants from the German academic exchange program and the arts foundation of Baden-Württemberg. He has achieved international recognition as a performer, improviser and composer, and has made guest appearances as a soloist at the Linz Bruckner Festival, the Gmunden Festival and the Kassel New Music Festival, as also in Leyden, Milan, Cracow and Vienna. His repertoire encompasses the entire spectrum of organ literature. The interpretation of early music and the preparation and first performance of the latest works form the cornerstones of his activities. Jürgen Essl is in demand as a lecturer at international organ seminars. Among his partners in improvisation projects are such musicians as Joachim Kühn and the actor Charles Brauer, and he also performed with the late Hanns Dieter Hüsch. His compositional oeuvre includes organ works that have gained world-wide recognition and pieces for choir, ensembles and orchestra. In 2003 he was awarded the composition prize for church music in Baden-Württemberg, and in 2007 he received the cultural award of the city of Passau. His musical career is documented on numerous CDs, including the first recording of the organ works of Jean Françaix, a widely noted improvisation recorded in Brussels Cathedral, and the "Ochsenhauser Orgelbuch."

Reviews
Endlich haben auch unsere katholischen Freunde ein eigenes Chorbuch erarbeiten und veröffentlichen können. Das große Engagement und die lange Vorbereitungszeit haben sich gelohnt. Auch wenn man mit zu viel Vorschusslorbeeren vorsichtig sein sollte: Es ist ein sensationell gutes Buch geworden. ... Alles in allem: ein neues Standardwerk (nicht nur) für die katholischen Kirchenchöre, das Maßstäbe setzt ähnlich wie es vor 60 Jahren Richard Gölz mit seinem Chorgesangbuch getan hat. Das „Freiburger Chorbuch” hat sich das Ziel gesetzt, unsere Kreativität zu beflügeln und zu einer größeren Vielfalt kirchenmusikalischer Gestaltungsmöglichkeiten anzuregen. Nicht nur aus diesem Grund sollte es in keiner Bibliothek fehlen.
Siegfried Bauer, Württembergische Blätter für Kirchenmusik 2/1995
Das Freiburger Chorbuch ist vom Bestseller zum Longseller geworden. Bereits über 100.000 Exemplare sind in den Händen von Chorsängerinnen und -sängern.
