The Hymns of Martin Luther – in arrangements by Bach, Schein, Reger, Mendelssohn-Bartholdy, Pärt and others.
Calmus has assembled collages out of the diverse Luther hymns. These chorale motets lead from the Middle Ages via the Renaissance and the Romantic period into the Modern age and illuminate the hymns from the most diverse viewpoints. Completely new combinations of the various epochs and styles come into being. They affect one another, they complement one another, they contrast with one another. From the individual motets, cantata movements, parody masses, organ music, hymns and Gregorian chorales, building blocks have emerged out of which whole new sound constructions have been assembled. A unique and varied program and a great homage to the reformer Martin Luther!
