Description
Gottfried August Homilius was a student of Johann Sebastian Bach in Leipzig between 1735 and 1741. He then moved to Dresden and worked there first as an organist at the Frauenkirche from 1742 to 1755, and, afterwards, as cantor of the Kreuzkirche and music director of the three principal Dresden churches until his death in 1785.
The present Urtext edition takes into account the main sources in which Homilius chorale preludes have been transmitted, most of them at least three times each. The comfortably playable chorale preludes to hymns that are still often sung today will enhance the recitals and religious services of every organist.
Contains the following chorale preludes:
- Ach Herr, mich armen Suender
- Christ lag in Todesbanden I–IV
- Der am Kreuz ist meine Liebe I/II
- Dies sind die heilgen Zehn Gebot
- Erbarm dich mein, o Herre Gott
- Erschienen ist der herrlich Tag
- Gelobet seist du, Jesu Christ I-III

- Herr Jesu Christ, du hoechstes Gut
- Herzlich lieb hab ich dich, o Herr
- Hilf, Herr Jesu, lass gelingen

- Mache dich, mein Geist, bereit
- Mein Gott, das Herze bring ich dir
- Meine Hoffnung steht auf Gott

Publishers use a lot of words to describe what they sell, and we know it can be confusing. We've tried to be as clear as possible to make sure you get exactly what you are looking for. Below are descriptions of the terms that we use to describe the various formats that music often comes in.
Choral Score
A score for vocalists that only contains the vocal lines. The instrumental parts are not there for reference. Generally, cheaper than a vocal score and requires multiple copies for purchase.
Facsimile
Reproductions of the original hand-written scores from the composer.
Full Score
For ensemble music, this indicates that the edition contains all parts on a single system (there are not separate parts for each player). In larger ensembles, this is for the conductor.
Hardcover
Hardbound. Generally either linen-covered or half-leather.
Orchestral Parts
Similar to a wind set, this is a collection of parts. In the case of strings, the numbers listed are the number of copies included, though generally these are available individually (often with minimum quantities required).
Paperback
When publishers offer multiple bindings (e.g. hardcover) or study scores, this is the "standard" version. If you're planning to play the music, this is probably what you want.
Performance / Playing Score
A score of the music containing all parts on one system, intended for players to share. There are not separate parts for each player.
Set of Parts
For ensemble music, this indicates that there are separate individual parts for each player.
Solo Part with Piano Reduction
For solo pieces with orchestra, this is a version that contains a piano reduction of the orchestra parts. For piano pieces, two copies are typically needed for performance.
Study Score
A small (think choral size) copy of the complete score meant for studying, and not playing. They make great add-ons when learning concertos and small chamber works.
Vocal Score
A score prepared for vocalists that includes the piano/organ part or a reduction of the instrumental parts.
Wind Set
For orchestral music, this is a collection of wind and percussion parts. The specific quantities of each instrument are notated.
With Audio
In addition to the printed music, the edition contains recordings of the pieces. This may be an included CD, or access to files on the internet.
With / Without Fingering (Markings)
Some publishers prepare two copies - a pure Urtext edition that includes no fingering (or bowing) suggestions and a lightly edited version that includes a minimal number of editorial markings.
