6 Deutsche Predigtlieder by Robert Führer — Lyrics
About 6 Deutsche Predigtlieder
This setting of German sacred text for SATB voices opens with robust homophonic writing, soon developing into imitative passages that create a rich contrapuntal texture. The music reflects the exultant mood of the opening lines, which call for rejoicing in God, the rock and protector of our salvation, and emphasize His presence and the promise of comfort. The second part of the text turns to a meditation on the eternal Word, divine essence, and the Incarnation, a theme the composer handles with fervent, devotional lyricism. Robert Führer's work is a compelling example of German sacred motet writing, offering both musical substance and profound spiritual reflection.
