The selection of songs recorded by the Stimmwerck ensemble focuses on a period of a little less than one and a half centuries. These years from the Reformation to the new beginning in the aftermath of the Thirty Years' War indeed turned out to be of decisive importance in the history of sacred song. 'O Haupt voll Blut und Wunden,' 'Allein Gott in derHoeh sei Her,' 'Mit Ernst, o Menschenkinder,' 'Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme,' 'Ich steh an deiner Krippen hier' - who does not know these hymns representing the Christian legacy of sacred song?
