for organ and a melodic instrument
The Regensburg composer, church musician and organist Eberhard Kraus (1931–2003) is one of the most important representatives of 20th-century Catholic church music in southern Germany. As cathedral organist at St. Peter's in Regensburg and as a lecturer and professor, he left his mark on the musical life of his hometown and far beyond for decades.
These seven selected choral arrangements can be played individually, in any combination or in the order presented here. In addition to concert performances, they are also intended for use in liturgy.
