AbstractThe brothers and sisters of the Ephrata Cloister community had been writing and publishing congregational hymns for many years when the so-called Bruderlied and Schwesterlied were published in 1756. These two "hymns" are unique in the history of hymn writing at the cloister. Their uniqueness lies in their collaborative approach, parallelism, length, musical setting and, more intriguingly, their editing history
