The repertoire of this four-voice choral collection ranges from the Baroque via the Romantic era to modern choral music. New settings of well-known Christmas songs have been especially composed for this collection. Many renowned composers contributed to this choral collection. A special attraction is the fact that, from an international perspective, a number of traditional German songs were arranged by composers from Poland, Denmark, England, Japan, South America, Italy, the Nethelands and Lithuania. For several of the Christmas songs two arrangments were chosen, so that an older and a modern setting of would be available. Around forty lieder were expressly arranged for the collection. Many of the contemporary arrangements draw on jazz and swing styles, or on pop music. The repertoire is suitable for Advent, Christmas, the New Year and Epiphany.
