Separate edition from BA 5902, â??Geistliche Chor-Musicâ?? SWV 369-380, The six and seven-part motets, nos. 13-29:

In 1648 Heinrich Schütz published a collection of 29 motets with five to seven parts titled â??Geistliche Chor-Musicâ? (Sacred Choir Music). Here, the term â??Chorâ? (choir) refers not only to a (large) vocal ensemble but, more generally, to a group of musicians, vocal or instrumental. As explained by Schütz in the foreword he published with the collection, all parts of the motets can be performed vocally and/or instrumentally.
