A large collection of hymn harmonizations by Henry V. Gerike on hymns that reflect the theology of Martin Luther with its emphasis on the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ for our salvation. These harmonizations are designed to highlight certain aspects of the texts. Not strictly for Reformation Day, they span the Church Year, including hymn tunes typically used during Advent, Christmas, Lent, Thanksgiving, and more. Consider using these settings to accompany your congregation, choir, or cantor.
