The numerous, mostly religious works of the Bohemian composer Andreas Hammerschmidt are composed with great craftmanship, and sound full and catchy. They were composed for 17th century village churches, in which they were sung by the congregation—and they are still familiar and popular today. Robert van Beringen took the advent hymn Lift Up Your Heads, Ye Gates and created this beautiful arrangement.

De talrijke, overwegend religieuze composities van de Boheemse componist Andreas Hammerschmidt zijn solide gecomponeerd, klinken vol en liggen goed in het gehoor. Deze eenvoudige werken werden in de zeventiende eeuw vooral voor dekerkkoren gecomponeerd. Zo zijn ze tot op de dag van vandaag bekend en populair gebleven. Robert van Beringen koos de titel Machet die Tore weit om het te bewerken voor harmonie- en fanfareorkest.

Machet die Tore weit is perhaps Andreas Hammerschmidt's best-known composition. But it is mainly performed in a form which does not originate from the composer - considerably shortened, with altered part-writing, and less text. Carus is now making this popular piece available for choirs in the composer's more coherent original form.

Influenced by Heinrich Schutz, Andreas Hammerschmidt (1611-1675) and other composers in central Germany wrote sacred vocal compositions with some discreet modern influences. These were widely performed in the late 17th and early 18th century, thanks to their ease of performance and catchy music. And today this music, with its song-like melodies, continues to offer an easy way of approaching 17th century compositions.

The well-known arranged version will continue to be available (Carus 1.007).
