Kuhnau's Magnificat in C major is - apart from his Biblical Sonatas - considered to be his most ambitious and best known work. However, as recent research has revealed, there are indeed many other large-scale works among his oeuvre which are largely presumed lost today, apart from those that were published as first editions. Until now, only insufficient or erroneous editions of the Magnificat have been available, a piano reduction has not been available at all. Beyond that, editor David Erler has succeeded in tracking down new evidence on the authorship of four Laudes (insertion movements for performances over Christmas) and to carry out their altogether new placement in the main work. He was able to prove that Bach's Magnificat directly succeeded Kuhnaus's work and that the use of such Laudes was common in Leipzig's parish churches and beyond.

In Ewigkeit dich loben has now become a permanent fixture in the every-day repertoire of many church musicians. The editor's four-volume concept has proven to be both handy and compelling. With its limitation to the main section of the new Evangelical Hymnal, however, many eager organists increasingly began to ask for preludes to beloved church hymns that are found in the various regional sections of the Hymnal, such as Als ich bei meinen Schafen wacht, Freunde, dass der Mandelzweig and Herr, deine Liebe. In this selection from the approximately 700 hymns of the regional section, the editor has included hymns which have a long history and are thus quite well known, but also certain hymns which are found in more than one regional section. The result is a stylistically varied palette of traditional pieces and newer, lesser known ones that should stimulate the imagination of every organist.

in Ewigkeit dich loben features preludes for all the hymns contained in the new Protestant Hymnbook (Evangelisches Gesangbuch, EG)..
