I praise my God...
40 Gotteslob songs presented and developed

40 songs from the main part of the new praise to God, theologically and musically developed for church and personal accompaniment. A special focus is on ecumenical songs: from the Eastern Church polyphonic "Hagios o Theos" to the Lutheran chorale "Jerusalem, du hochgebaute Stadt", from Anglican songs such as "Näher, mein Gott, zu dir" (Nearer, my God, to you) to linguistically and musically high-ranking transcriptions of Northern European songs such as "Stimme, die Stein zerbricht" (Voice that breaks stone). A rich resource for church musicians, pastoral staff and interested lay people - with explanations of poets and composers, of the often exciting history of the songs' origins, as well as of their contemporary opportunities for proclamation.
