About

The vocal ensemble Stimmwerck, supported by harp, lute and organ, has - with some scholarship - compiled a programme of music for Advent and Christmas from the time of the Reformation.

Starting with the Gregorian chant of the Catholic liturgy, the so-called "O Antiphons", which were sung to the Magnificat in the last days of Advent, and elaborate Latin motets, it presents the development of Protestant German song as set by Michael Praetorius, Samuel Scheidt and Johann Hermann Schein.

Here are to be found old friends, the almost folksong-like next to wonderful treasures, which are produced for the first time with the crystal clear and beautiful vocal sound that one is used to from Stimmwerck.
