About A - 2. neděle velikonoční
This setting of a responsory for the second Sunday of Easter in Czech is for two voices, Soprano and Tenor. The text, drawn from Psalm 118, expresses profound gratitude for God's enduring mercy and salvation. It begins with a refrain of praise, "Thank the Lord, for he is good; his mercy endures for ever," which is echoed by different groups, including the house of Israel, the house of Aaron, and those who fear the Lord. The verses speak of overcoming adversity with divine aid, proclaiming the Lord as strength and salvation. The text concludes with the powerful imagery of the rejected stone becoming the cornerstone, celebrating this day as God's own making, a call to rejoice. Karel Bříza’s composition offers a direct and heartfelt musical setting of these uplifting words, suitable for services during the Easter season.
