This lively folk song was known as a “play party song” that included clapping and dancing. Beginning with a soft and lovely melody and followed by an energetic contrast, this choral conveys the true party spirit of the folk song and is a wonderful performance and teaching piece.

The practising church musician Andreas Pieper knows with heart and soul how to adapt the level of difficulty of his choral compositions to the qualitative possibilities of a committed church choir and create simple, yet tonally beautiful choral settings. This shows in his Zwei deutsche Marienmotetten for mixed a cappella choir (SATB). Both sacred motets pay homage to the Mother of God. The composition Maria ist aufgenommen in den Himmel celebrates in song the 'Feast of the Assumption of Mary', the solemnity of the Roman Catholic Church celebrated on 15 August. Not bound to the church's liturgy, the Marian motet Hymnus von der seligen Jungfrau Maria is based on the text of an unknown poet from the 14th century which invokes the help and protection of Mary.

As director of the Bavarian Radio Choir, Howard Arman has been actively engaged with international Christmas carols through various Christmas-related CD productions in the past years. This has resulted in a number of original arrangements for four- to eight-part mixed choir a cappella, shedding new light on well-known classics such as O du frohliche [O, you joyful], Stille Nacht [Silent Night] and Lasst uns froh und munter sein [Let us be happy and cheerful]. The first volume includes five Christmas carols from the German-speaking regions. They range from simple but harmonically intriguing settings such as Lieb Nachtigall, wach auf [Dear nightingale, wake up] to eight-part sound paintings with bell-like chimes as in O du frohliche and classical double choir settings such as Resonet in laudibus. The second volume includes five Christmas spirituals with English texts, forming a contrast to the solemn and festive character of the first. The choir can prove its swing and jazz qualities here; the stirring arrangements are a gain for classical Christmas concerts, too. Following the tradition of the spiritual, some settings also require soloists, which can, however, also be recruited from the choir if adequate singers are available. The first piece combines the spirituals It's a Birthday and Wasn't That a Mighty Day to form a medley, Ain't That a Rockin' gives a moment of tranquility before the likewise rousing spirituals Mary Had a Baby and Little David conclude the volume. In both volumes, Howard Arman provides a short preface in German and English, explaining the background of each piece and giving advice on performance.
