Hermann
Schroeder's abundant
oeuvre in the field of
chorale-bound organ music
is much less known among
organists than his free -
especially the
concertante - organ
works, although Hermann
Schroeder as an organist
felt particularly bound
to liturgy and liturgical
singing. And according to
him, any liturgical organ
music should always bear
a direct relation to
singing. The purpose of
the present anthology is
to provide the player a
representative selection
of Schroeder's chorale
arrangements. Most of
these chorales are
relatively short and of
medium difficulty at
most. The chorale melody
can be heard well most of
the time so that the
pieces are ideal for
being used in church
services. In the
alphabetical index, the
beginnings of song titles
are accompanied by the
corresponding number from
Gotteslob (GL) or the
Protestant Hymnal for
better orientation.
