Max Baumann (1917–1999) ranks among the most important composers of the 20th century. His compositional output is wide-ranging and encompasses almost all genres of music, from simple songs and instrumental works to chamber music, stage works and small and large orchestral works. Sacred choral music occupies another important place among his compositions. The present edition of Alma Redemptoris Mater is a testament to his vocal work. The setting of the ancient Marian hymn ‘ Alma Redemptoris Mater ’ (Mother of the Redeemer) combines sacred musical language with a modern, emotionally dense sound language. The piece is suitable for both liturgical performances and concert programmes.

The ‘ Little Marian Mass ’ Op. 59 for two soprano voices and organ was written in 1958 for the pupils of St. Ursula's Grammar School in Duderstadt. This was reported to the Max Baumann Society on 3 March 2009 by Ms Helene Dießner, a former music teacher at the school who still lives in Duderstadt. She had asked Max Baumann for a ‘practical work for equal voices’, ‘because simple masses were rare at that time’. Ms Dießner rehearsed the work for the festive service on the occasion of the golden jubilee (1961) of the Venerable Mother Augustina. Since then, boys' and women's choirs have also sung this mass often and with pleasure in church services, certainly also because of its interesting rhythms and appealing, novel harmonies. Contents: Kyrie (approx. 3 minutes) Gloria (approx. 3 minutes 30 seconds) Sanctus (approx. 2 minutes 30 seconds) Benedictus (approx. 1 minute 40 seconds) Agnus Dei (approx. 4 minutes 30 seconds) The vocal score is available under order number N 8135.

This edition is published in a practical ring binder format.

The Lord is my Shepherd Harald Heilmann (1946–2018) was a German composer and music teacher who was best known for his church music and choral works. As a composer for choir and organ, he gained particular renown in the field of sacred music and liturgical compositions. Psalm 23 , also known as ‘ The Lord is my Shepherd ’, is one of the best-known and most frequently quoted biblical texts in the Christian faith.
