In commemoration of the 500th anniversary of Johann Walter’s collection Geystliche gesangk Buchleyn (1524), these three motets were edited and selected for their usefulness for modern choirs throughout the Church Year and at celebrations of the Lord’s Supper. Each piece may be sung as a stand-alone motet, using one or more stanzas. Or select stanzas may be sung in alternation with the congregation in the context of singing the hymn. The titles are “From Depths of Woe I Cry to Thee,” “O Lord, We Praise Thee,” and “Salvation unto Us Has Come.”
