The new edition of Hammerschmidt's ten motets contains six works for the church year and four sacred concertos. The collection is ideal for mixed choirs who perform with differently-scored instrumental ensembles, since for Hammerschmidt an exact instrumentation was not his highest priorty: The instruments could be employed "if available," otherwise they could be dispensed with, as he explains in the fourth part of his Musicalischen Andachten (1646). On the other hand, the composer demands the greatest possible intelligibility from the choir. These works are a rewarding addition to the repertoire, especially suited for performance in worship services and evening music.
