In "Bicinia sacra", Caspar Othmayr punblished two part settings of contemporary popular chorales. Many of these chorales are still in use today so that Othmayr's setting can be used, e.g., alternatim with the congregation.

Some of the chorales have been translated into different languages. I therfore alos make the abc source file for the music typestting software abctab2ps available, so that users can easily create editions in their own language. If you have done so and have used a public domain translation, please send me the abc file so that I can add the edition on this website.
