From Oxford Music Online: "The basis of Distler’s work was the rediscovery of old forms and genres, and his highly effective word-painting evolved from the music of Schütz...The organ pieces are similarly new in principle; something of their originality came from Distler’s work with Baroque organs, primarily in north Germany. In both vocal and organ works the distinctive features of Distler’s style are its pregnant rhythms and its harmonic boldness within a tonal setting."
