Gottfried August Homilius left an extensive oeuvre. Numerous motets, church cantatas, and oratorios, among others, have been preserved. In their day the compositions of Homilius were very popular and were extraordinarily well circulated. On the occasion of his 300th anniversary Carus is releasing several CDs with works by “the best church composer” (J. F. Reichardt) of his time.

The motets by Homilius are among the most demanding and interesting works in all of choral literature. In these pieces the composer, who was born exactly 300 years ago. achieves a fascinating combination of contrapuntal writing with the sensitive style of his era. Following the acclaim that Frieder Bernius and the Kammerchor Stuttgart enjoyed with the first set of his motets recorded by Carus, now the vocal ensemble sirventes berlin, under the direction of Stefan Schuck, presents a further selection from the more than 60 motets penned by Homilius.
