After moving to his position at the Dresdner Kreuzkantorat, which meant the end of his career as an organist, Homilius compiled 32 of his Chorale preludes for organ and offered them for sale to be disseminated as handwritten copies. For the first time this collection is published here in its entirety and in the original sequence of the preludes. Homilius shows that on the one hand he was inspired by Johann Sebastian Bach, while on the other he followed his own stylistic paths. Thus, for example, he employs extensively the traditional form of the chorale trio, but treads new territory in the harmonic realm. With this volume those seeking a rewarding enrichment of chorale-based organ music will find what they are looking for.

In good time for the Reformation anniversary year 2017, this edition offers four distinctive movements from Johann Sebastian Bach's Reformation cantatas in arrangements for choir and organ. From the cantata Ein feste Burg ist unser Gott BWV 80 the ornate opening chorus, the fifth movement Und wenn die Welt voll Teufel war, with its impressive musical depiction of the battle between heavenly and evil powers, and the final chorale Das Wort sie sollen lassen stahn are included. These are joined by the festive chorale Nun danket alle Gott from the Reformation cantata Gott der Herr ist Sonn und Schild BWV 79. The transcription of Bach's orchestral writing for organ offers performers plenty of opportunity for artistic interpretation, and enables the movements to be performed in an attractive way even with limited resources.
