Paradisisches Wunder-Spiel, welches sich in diesen letzten Zeiten und Tagen in denen abend-ländischen Welt-Theilen als ein Vorspiel der neuen Welt hervor gethan. Bestehende in einer gantz neuen und ungemeinen Sing-Art auf Weise der englishen und himmlischen Chören eingerichtet. ... Alles nach englischen Chören Gesangs-Weise mit viel Mühe und grossem Fleiss ausgefertiget von einem Friedsamen, der sonst in dieser Welt weder Namen noch Titul suchet.

Altogether there are 49 pieces, 20 of which are also found among the hymns of the later Wunderspiel of 1766.
