Until now, anyone looking for music on the theme of Pentecost and the Holy Spirit for church services and concerts usually had to do so in larger collections that cover the entire church year or parts of it. With Music for the Spirit, there is now a choirbook specifically for the feast of Pentecost for the first time, closing a gap for an important feast of the Catholic, Protestant, and Anglican churches. Over 500 years of choral music from Renaissance to the modern age are covered here with compositions from the German-, English-, Italian- and French-speaking regions. Almost all the great composers of European sacred music are represented, from Palestrina over Byrd, Bach, Mozart, Brahms, Gounod, and Bruckner to Reger, Parry, Stanford, and Distler. With the chronological order, the development of the genre of the Pentecost motet and sacred choral music in general can be traced easily. All pieces can be performed by mixed choir a cappella or with organ accompaniment. In some cases, the accompaniment has been supplemented or arranged by the editor Stephen Harrap, in individual cases also the choral parts, e.g. when the original was composed for male voices only. The scoring ranges from three to eight voices while the length and difficulty of the pieces likewise cover a broad range for a wide variety of choirs and ensembles.

Today an increasing number church choirs are lamenting the lack of male voices. The present Chorbuch a tre (choir book a tre), anticipated by many, addresses this situation. It contains 160 three-part settings for two female voices and one male voice (some with accompaniment). The collection, designed for ecumenical use, offers a broad selection of choral settings for the church year, times of the day, praise and thanks, the Ordinary, etc. It includes works from from the 17th century to the present, and presents a range of various styles (including gospel and sacred pop). About 50 settings were written for this choir book by renowned composers and church musicians. Choirmasters can now enjoy having a current, comprehensive collection of three-part choral settings with a variety of ideas for singing and making music in worship services.

Flexible music-making in church worship - with choirs, organ, congregation, brass ensemble, and other instruments The new Chorbuch zum Evangelischen Gesangbuch has been published for the Reformation anniversary year 2017. It features an innovative modular principle which offers new ideas for group music-making with different church music groups in parishes. Over 60 hymns are arranged in the form of modular settings. Each arrangement can be performed by different forces: by a 4-part mixed choir (SATB), a 3-part mixed choir (Soprano, Alto, Mezzo) or a 2- to 3-part children's choir (mainly melody and descant), each with a common organ part. The arrangements of each hymn are compatible with each other, so they can be performed separately or together to accompany the congregation, or they can be sung alternately. There are also one or two ad lib upper instrumental parts which fit with all the versions. The organ part can alternately be played by the brass ensemble.
