This collection of 33 canonical intonations to 43 well-known songs from the Praise of God and the Evangelical Songbook is aimed in particular at part-time organists who are looking for stylish preludes to church singing. In the simplest form of imitation, the octave canon, all intonations are simple leaf-reading suitable for immediate use in worship, and are provided with a very light pedal voice. For decades, the composer's name has stood for compositions in which a high practical value oriented to the target group goes hand in hand with convincing tonal results.
