Description:
After the Achtliederbuch (1524) and the Erfurt Enchiridion (1524), the Geystlich Gesank Buchleyn is the third German hymnal, and the first choir hymnal (both others containing lyrics and melody only). It was reprinted and expanded in 1525, 1529, 1531, 1533, 1535, 1537, 1544, 1543 and 1545. From the first edition not all part books are conserved.
The hymnal is set for 3 to 5 voices. In addition to the hymns from the Enchiridion it contains six hymns by Luther himself and a set of latin motets. On one of the last page the alto part book is signed: avtore Ioanne Walthero. It is suppoed that with this Gesank Buchlein Walther applied for the post of director musices at the court of Fredric the Wise, known as one of the most powerful defenders of Martin Luther.
