Buxtehude's numerous vocal compositions which was written for performance in the Lubeck Marienkirche, are stylistically quite varied. The cantata Singet dem Herrn ein neues Lied is based on a text from the first verses of psalm 98 which occupies a unique position in the oeuvre of Buxtehude, since it employs only one solo instrument. The composition, which is in concertato style, offers both soloists rewarding challenges. Score and part available separately - see item CA.3601200.
