Twelve choir and piano movements for the Christmas season: classics such as Jingle Bells and Silent Night, as well as unknown international Christmas carols. The individual arrangements can be used flexibly; they work in three-part mixed, but also in one or two voices, with piano accompaniment or a cappella. At the same time, the individual pieces are designed so differently that they are suitable for joint use in concert. With modern and popular harmony and varied rhythm, this Christmas collection is ideal for young choirs.

In the Geistliches Lied op. 30 for four-part mixed choir and organ (or piano for three to four hands), Johannes Brahms sets a text by the Baroque poet Paul Fleming (1609-1640) to music. Although the piece was composed in April 1856, it only premiered as late as July 1865 in the church of St. Jakobi in Chemnitz. This is probably due to changes that were proposed by Joseph Joachim. In February 1864, Brahms sent it together with Op. 29 to Breitkopf & Hartel where it was published in July 1864. The subtitle in brackets in the autograph ,,Doppel-Canon in der None (,,Double canon in the ninth) was not printed on it, although it closely captures the essence of this composition of about three minutes.

The St. John Passion SWV 481, with its full title History of the Passion and Death of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ According to the Evangelist St. John, is counted among the most frequently performed works of Heinrich Schutz. Other than the later passions by Johann Sebastian Bach, the original scoring does not include instrumental accompaniment. To enable a presentation of the passion by a wider circle of performers, however, the composer and church musician Arnold Mendelssohn (1855-1933) has developed this arrangement with organ or piano accompaniment, being a harmonic framework and new tone color at the same time. The edition also suggests chorales from the Evangelisches Gesangbuch for a possible active participation of the congregation.
