In 1837 Robert Schumann judged Mendelssohn’s Psalm 42 Wie der Hirsch schreit (Like as the hart) as the "highest standard which has been achieved amongst recent church music". This work is truly a favorite of many choirs, however, the final chorus contains a few tricky problem passages: in particular, the wonderful quintet requires perfect intonation from the four male voices to provide a secure basis over which the bell-like clarity of the solo soprano floats ...

The Carus Choir Coach offers choir singers the unique opportunity to study and learn their own, individual choral parts within the context of the sound of the entire choir and orchestra. For every vocal range a separate Audio CD or MP3 and download containing each choir part is available. The Carus Choir Coach is based on recorded interpretations by renowned artists who have performed the work from carefully prepared Carus Urtext editions. Each choir part is presented in three different versions:


- Original recording
- Coach: each part is accompanied by the piano, with the original recording sounding in the background
- Coach in slow mode: the tempo of the coach slows down to 70% of the original version – through this reduction passages can be learned more effectively.

Performers: Ruth Ziesak (soprano), Jan Kobow, Christoph Prégardien (tenore), Gotthold Schwarz, Adolph Seidel (basso) – Kammerchor Stuttgart, Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen – Frieder Bernius
