Uses: PraiseScripture: Psalm 150Power, strength and majesty are the words that best describe this setting of Psalm 150. Written for organ and optional brass, the opening builds to the choir's entry. A unison choral statement ensues that is noble and direct. Following a softer middle section, the piece returns to the opening material to a glorious conclusion.

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.

This Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy anthology contains 19 sacred vocal works in various choral and sometimes additional solo settings, with organ, harpsichord, or basso continuo accompaniment. Among these pieces composed from 1821 to 1847 are six works that were not published during Mendelssohn's lifetime. Seven of the works presented are each extant in at least one other authorized version that has also been edited here. The occasions and circumstances of their composition vary as much as their musical structures and characteristics: Several were intended for specific performances; others were written from the outset for publication.
