Hymni brevissimi, Op.5 No.13-24

Johann Melchior Dreyer's Hymni brevissimi present a collection of short, sacred Latin hymns. This particular setting, Op. 5 No. 13-24, is written for SATB choir. Dreyer composed in the tradition of German sacred music, and these hymns would have served as concise, devotional musical settings of liturgical texts. The collection offers directors a compact way to include well-crafted, historical choral music in their services. The straightforward voicing and devotional character make these hymns suitable for a variety of sacred occasions.
