The Hymns of Martin Luther

For five centuries, Martin Luthers hymns have formed the core of Lutheran hymnals and have been the premier model for Lutheran hymnwriters. All of Luthers hymn texts and melodies are brought together here in this complete collection. From the beloved A Mighty Fortress Is Our God to the largely unknown My Bride, the Church, Is Dear to Me, each text is paired with its sixteenth-century melody and is provided a conventional harmonization. Also includes supplemental background information, current historical scholarship, and comprehensive indices.
