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. The parts are easy to moderately difficult and are also suitable as additions to programmes of brass and organ works for ensembles and soloists. Content: 1. Zieh an die Macht, du Arm des Herrn (Draw near to power, O arm of the Lord) 2. Die helle Sonn' leucht jetzt herfür (The bright sun now shines forth) 3. Schönster Herr Jesu (Most beautiful Lord Jesus) 4. Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme (Awake, the voice calls us) 5. Freu dich sehr o meine Seele (Rejoice greatly, O my soul) 6. In dieser Nacht (On this night) 7. Lobe den Herren, den mächtigen König (Praise the Lord, the mighty King)

Jean-Philippe Rameau (1683–1764) is one of the most important composers of the French Baroque period. In his stage works, he combines festive sound splendour with dance-like elegance and artful harmonies. This collection, Airs de Triomphe, has been carefully arranged by Eberhard Kraus (1931-2003), long-time organist at Regensburg Cathedral and experienced editor. The selection is based on festive instrumental movements from Rameau's operas and stage music and has been arranged for two trumpets (in C or B flat) and organ. The arrangements are characterised by idiomatic voice leading, good playability and musical effect – ideal for use on church holidays, in concerts or as repertoire for advanced brass players in a liturgical context. The organ takes on a harmonically supportive and rhythmically concise accompanying role, while the trumpets take centre stage with baroque radiance. Content: I. "La Princesse de Navarre" (Comédie-ballet) II. "Le Temple de la Gloire" (Opéra-ballet III. "Nais" (Pastorale héroique)

Johann Ludwig Krebs (1713–1780) is one of the most important German composers and organists of the late Baroque period. His musical education began under the guidance of his father, Johann Tobias Krebs, who was also an organist. From 1726, Krebs was a pupil of Johann Sebastian Bach at St. Thomas School in Leipzig, which had a lasting influence on his compositional style. The close relationship between teacher and student is reflected, among other things, in a playful remark by Bach, who referred to Krebs as his ‘only Krebs in my Bach’. Krebs' compositional oeuvre comprises around 230 works, with his organ compositions in particular still attracting considerable attention today. This edition brings together eight simple and stylistically expressive chorales by Johann Ludwig Krebs in an arrangement for organ and melody instrument (oboe or trumpet in C), edited by August Gottfried Ritter . The chorales are suitable for both liturgical use and concert performances. Ritter's edition makes these works accessible to a wide circle of organists and combines historical substance with practical playability. Content: 1. Es ist gewißlich an der Zeit (It is surely time) 2. Was mein Gott will, das gescheh allzeit (What my God wants, may it always happen) 3. Gott der Vater wohn' ns bei (God the Father dwells with us) 4. Herzlein lieb hab ich dich, oh Herr (I love you dearly, oh Lord) 5. Komm heiliger Geist, Herre Gott (Come Holy Spirit, Lord God) 6. O Gott, du frommer Gott (O God, you pious God) 7. Liebster Jesu, wir sind hier (Dearest Jesus, we are here) 8. Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme (Awake, the voice calls us)
