Read and write feedback
The six collections of four-voiced motets and arias published by Johann Adam Hiller offer a selection of motets, mostly from the second half of the 18th century. They show us the products of a new age of achievement in which the motet was again able to flourish after this genre had led only a shadowlike existence for more than a century.

Reviews

Namen wie Homilius, Rolle, Harrer, Doles, Graun, Hiller und auch Neefe bürgen für erste Qualität. Dass Uwe Wolf diese Sammlung nun neu als Quellenedition herausgibt, verdient große Anerkennung [...].
Rainer Goede, www.kirchmusik.de, April 2012

Im Jahr 1776 gab das musikalische Allroundtalent Johann Adam Hiller (1728—1804) den ersten Teil einer Sammlung von Motetten und Chorarien deutscher Meister des 18. Jahrhunderts heraus, um für die Verbreitung der Werke zu sorgen und die Kirchenchöre in ganz Deutschland mit geeigneten Werken zu versorgen. Diese Anthologie bot nicht nur dem Thomaskantor Hiller vielfältiges Aufführungsmaterial, sondern entpuppt sich in einer modernen Edition beim Carus-Verlag als wahre Schatztruhe für die aktuelle Chorszene.
