Freiburger Chorheft 1
Sacred vocal music for two voices
The new Freiburger Chorheft 1 is aimed at smaller choirs or one-off vocal ensembles that want to inject some variety into a church service. The repertoire for two voices can be used flexibly and the pieces require only modest rehearsal times. The collection contains 36 two-part pieces of different eras and styles, ranging from the Renaissance to contemporary sacred music. They can be sung by female and/or male voices, high and low voices, vocal groups or soloists, depending on availability. The editors Meinrad Walter and Georg Koch have thus carefully considered the ever-changing circumstances of performance, which demand ever more flexibility from the musicians.
There is also the option to introduce instruments – to support the vocal parts, to replace a voice or as an instrumental descant. A keyboard accompaniment is provided for most pieces. The congregation can also take part in the singing.
Providing repertoire for services throughout the church year, the Freiburger Chorheft 1 also features music for Mass and the Liturgy of the Hours as well as special services such as the celebration of First Communion. While the focus is on the Catholic musical tradition, numerous works are also suitable for other denominations.
In addition to the popular series of the Freiburger Chorbuch for four-part church choir and for children's choir, the Freiburger Chorheft 1 offers attractive repertoire for two voices that will make any church service both lively and appealing even in small settings or with limited numbers of performers.
