These canons now published for the first time document Hindemith's fondness of composing little parodistic works with a wink on certain occasions. More than 30 artistic postcard-sized works were written by the composer. In strict counterpoint he used them to convey season's greetings congratulations on birthdays and anniversaries and thanks to friends colleagues and cultural institutions. Some of these witty and entertaining pieces have been released on recordings several times but they have not been available in printed editions yet. Our first edition now enables every choir and every small singing group to find a canon of the appropriate level of difficulty and perform it on many occasions with great success with the audience.
