This collection, similarly to the publication entitled 111 bicinia from the 15th century (EMB 14478), contains longer and shorter two-part excerpts from polyphonic ecclesiastical choral works, for pedagogical and liturgical use. As teaching material, on the one hand it introduces and notes in brief textual definitions the characteristics of each given excerpt: on the other hand, it provides easily usable examples for teaching music history, solfege and counterpoint (practice of intervals, score-reading, dictation, stylistic exercises, etc.) At the same time the movements, which also function as independent units, can be quickly learnt, and may on occasions add colour to themusical palette of the liturgy by introducing material that can be performed even by a children's choir. The volume consists mainly of excerpts taken from Mass movements and Magnificats by Palestrina, Lassus, Gombert, Clemens non Papa and others. A separate chapter is devoted to chorale-based bicinia in German, which were already popular in the initial period of Evangelical church music.

Hermann Schroeder (1904-1984) is one of the most important composers of Catholic church music in the 20th century. Apart from more than 100 organ works and masses, he also wrote numerous motets. The present four-part motet Freu dich, du werte Christenheit for mixed a cappella choir (SATB) was written in 1975. This old Resurrection song from the 16th century is based on a setting by the Franco-Flemish composer Johannes des Cleve (around 1529-1582) which has been skillfully transferred by Schroeder to the modern age with subtle harmonies. The tenor voice sings the cantus firmus and is embedded in archaic-seeming sounds typical of Schroeder by the other voices. This three-verse Resurrection song of about five minutes is perfect for church services at Easter.
