The cantata O heilige Zeit [O Holy Time] of the former St. Thomas cantor Johann Kuhnau is the ideal baroque festive music for small scorings. Even though this is the larger of two cantatas with this text underlay, it can be performed by four soloists (SATB), single or double strings, and continuo organ. The participation of a choir in non-soloistic passages is optional, for historically unproven. The cantata was composed in the years 1704/05 and can therefore be placed in Kuhnau's term as St. Thomas cantor in Leipzig. A contemporary text by Erdmann Neumeister is fitted with a modern musical garb here while keeping unconditional adherence to it. Using a structural artifice as simple as it is effective, he provides a ritornello-like musical equivalent to the repeatedly recurring line of text O heilige Zeit!. This edition continues the series of works by Kuhnau started in the Pfefferkorn Musikverlag. Another festive music by Kuhnau with larger scoring is found in the Magnificat in C major, deemed a direct predecessor of Bach's Magnificat.

A modern hymn classic from Keith and Kristyn Getty, this engaging tune and profound text is a paean of faith for the church. Useful as a congregational moment and equally at home in this choral adaptation, this is a welcome addition to songs that celebrate the ministry of the Holy Spirit in our lives. Arranged with reverence to the dignified stylings of the original, the voices have chorale-styled harmonies that are easily learned, giving directors time to work on creating clarity in this fine lyric. Score and Parts (fl, ob, cl, bn, hn 1-2, perc, vn 1-2, va, vc, db) available on CD-ROM and as a digital download.
