Für die Ausführung dieser gekonnt gearbeiteten und hervorragend klingenden Duette sind nicht unbedingt zwei gleiche Bassinstrumente erforderlich. Sehr gut eignen sich auch die Besetzungen Fagott/Violoncello und Fagott/Viola da gamba.

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)

Siegfried Borris (1906–1987) has long been one of the most prominent figures in Berlin's musical life: alert, versatile and with a keen sense of tonal communication. His compositional oeuvre includes symphonies, concertos, ballets, radio operas, cantatas, masses, chamber music, etc. His musical language is characterised by lucid structures, vital élan and rich expressive intensity. The title Lauda (Italian for “praise” or ‘praise’) refers to the inspiration behind the work and is suitable for concert performances and liturgical occasions. This edition of Lauda op. 110 for flute and organ is of medium difficulty and is suitable for both advanced musicians and ambitious students who wish to further develop their technique and expressiveness. The edition is a treasure for anyone who appreciates the special beauty of handwritten musical notation. Content: 1. Andante 2. Allegro

The composer and music teacher Harald Heilmann (1924–2018) studied composition first at the Leipzig University of Music (1946–1950) and then with Hanns Eisler at the Academy of Arts in East Berlin. After moving to West Germany in 1952, he continued his studies with Frank Martin at the Cologne University of Music. In addition to working as an editor for various music publishers, Heilmann worked as a freelance composer from 1958 onwards. His work has been honoured with numerous awards, including the Stamitz Prize, the Federal Cross of Merit and a scholarship from the Cité Internationale des Arts in Paris. This work is scored for trombone (alternatively viola or English horn) and organ.

Throughout church history, the Te Deum and the Gloria , both of which are early Christian hymns, have been set to music many times.

This work by Eberhard Kraus was composed for Rolf Quinque, former principal trumpeter of the Munich Philharmonic Orchestra, and is primarily intended for high trumpet in combination with organ .

Thirty of the best-known Christmas carols from Germany, France, England, America and Switzerland are provided here with skilful upper parts.

The additionally inserted part with the extracted chord symbols offers a rich palette of Christmas music-making.

Kaspar Kummer (1795-1870) gehörte über dreißig Jahre als Flötist und Musikdirektor der Hofkapelle von Sachsen-Coburg-Gotha an. Über seine Tätigkeit als Komponist schrieb der englische Musikhistoriker und Flötist R. S. Rockstro (1826-1906): "Ich kenne keinen Komponisten, dessen Werke für Flöte sich durch eine solch gleichbleibend hohe Qualität auszeichnen". Die Duette op. 146 sind sowohl für den Unterricht wie für den Vortrag geeignet.
