Thomas Stoltzer (ca. 1480-1526) was a celebrated composer in his time, who can be found in 30 printed publications. His Latin and German psalm settings were his best-known works. With their themes of "longing" and "hope", these Old Testament texts have become an important part of the Advent liturgy. They are presented alongside Advent hymns such as "Conditor Alme Siderum" and the "Advent Introitus Rorate coeli" as well as Stoltzer's textless "Fantasies". These "Fantasias" were unusual for their time as they were arranged according to modes - each one masterfully depicts the modal character assigned to it.
