German Agnus Dei: Compared To The Roman Litany Of All Saints
Luther’s first hymnal was published 1524. Luther worked with numerous skilled musicians. Luther composed music for the church choirs, the organ, and multitudes of other instruments during his life. After his death on February 18, 1546, the words to “A Mighty Fortress is our God” were inscribed on his tomb.
During a German Mass in 1526 Luther recommended “German Agnus Dei” to be sung during Holy Communion. Many scholars believe that Luther had “Christe, du Lamm Gottes” in mind when he recommended “German Agnus Dei” to be sung.
