Composed by Braun. Edited by Schalk. Church Year. Choral score. Published by Concordia Publishing House (CR.977347).

This anthology of choral selections from the 15s and early 16s reflects the richness and diversity of choral music in early Lutheranism. This collection provides an opportunity for many largely unknown composers of the early Lutheran Church, often overshadowed by such later composers as Heinrich Schutz and Johann Sebastian Bach, to be heard.

For convenience in singing, the English text is given first; the original language, usually German or Latin, is given in italic type beneath the English. In settings of the chorale the German is given only for the first stanza. Where the cantus firmus is based on a chant melody, the chant is given above the piece. In addition, biographical information about the composer, the piece, or its performance is given with each selection.
