TheKleine geistliche Konzerte(Small Sacred Concertos), published in two parts in 1636 and1639, are among the best-known and well-loved compositions of Heinrich Schutz. Both parts constitute a collection of vocal pieces in a broad range of styles written for only a few voices with basso continuo. Most of the texts are in German, but some are also in Latin. The first volume presents a broad spectrum of vocal scoring, musical forms and texts: there are solo concertos in the Italian style, traditional four-part motets, well-known Psalm texts set to music, hymns as well as mystically contemplative meditative literature. The concertos' monodic qualities and high level of virtuosity - especially in the compositions with German text - made Schutz a household name shortly after theKleine geistliche Konzertewere published in print. As the works required no large ensembles, they could be performed for different occasions and in various locations; particularly during the Thirty Years' War they could be heard at court, in cities or in villages but also in schools or at home.

Unlike the 1963 edition of theKleine geistliche Konzerte(BA 3664, BA 3665, BA 3666) as part of the New Schutz Edition, this new volume presents the works for the first time in their original form and order. A historic-critical evaluation of all relevant sources yields new information regarding the composer's intentions, the printing process and the works' reception. Furthermore, the edition includes a reconstruction of an earlier version that has not been published until now. This edition is geared towards musicologists, as well as professional musicians and amateurs with a keen interest in early music.

The Kleine geistliche Konzerte by Heinrich Schutz represent solo vocal music right at the height of its time, the result of his (second) journey to Italy and his encounter with Claudio Monteverdi's musico-dramatic works. Part I of the Kleine Geistliche Konzerte, published in 1636, can already by seen as a pattern book of compositions, and based on their structure Schutz was then able to set more extensive pieces. This applies even more impressively to the second book because of its often daring harmonies and more intensive declamation; the book was issued in 1639 and is now newly published in the Stuttgart Schutz Edition in the original keys and with the original order of pieces newly recreated according to the first printed edition.
