1648年，海因裡希-舒茨（Heinrich Schütz）出版了29首五至七聲部的格律詩集，名為 "Geistliche Chor-Music"（神聖合唱音樂）。在這裡，"Chor"（合唱團）一詞不僅指一個（大型）聲樂合奏團，還泛指一群聲樂或器樂音樂家。正如舒茨在隨詩集出版的前言中解釋的那樣，這首詩的所有部分都可以用聲樂和/或器樂演奏"

原文簡介:
In 1648 Heinrich Schütz published a collection of 29 motets with five to seven parts titled “Geistliche Chor-Music” (Sacred Choir Music). Here, the term “Chor” (choir) refers not only to a (large) vocal ensemble but, more generally, to a group of musicians, vocal or instrumental. As explained by Schütz in the foreword he published with the collection, all parts of the motets can be performed vocally and/or instrumentally.

This practice, common in Schütz’s time, has been incorporated into Bärenreiter’s new publication. The edition includes the twelve five-part motets at original pitch with basso continuo. In addition, instrumental parts for string and wind instruments can be purchased. These parts, which include the text, serve to support and complement the choral sound “colla parte”. To enable varying tone-colour possibilities, instrumental parts are available in different transpositions.

Of great significance is the detailed foreword on performance practice by Manfred Cordes.

- Reflects the latest in musicological research based on the “New Schütz Edition”

- Includes a detailed foreword (Eng/Ger) on performance practice by a Schütz expert

- Instrumental parts (strings, winds) available in transpositions
