After the Achtliederbuch (1524) and the Erfurt Enchiridion (1524), the Geystlich Gesank Buchleyn is the third German hymnal, and the first choir hymnal (both others containing lyrics and melody only). It was reprinted and expanded in 1525 to 1551. A reprint in score appeared in 1878. The original part books are not conserved as a complete set. Of the first edition only T and B are available online.
The hymnal is set for 3 to 5 voices. In addition to the hymns from the Enchiridion it contains six hymns by Luther himself and a set of latin motets. On one of the last page the alto part book is signed: avtore Ioanne Walthero. It is suppoed that with this Gesank Buchlein Walther applied for the post of director musices at the court of Fredric the Wise, known as one of the most powerful defenders of Martin Luther.
