Das Vater unser by Balthasar Resinarius — Lyrics
Vater Unser, der du bist in dem Himmel,
geheiliget werde dein Name,
zu uns komme dein Reich,
dein Wille geschehe wie im Himmel also auch auf Erden.
Unser täglig Brot gieb uns heute

About Das Vater unser
Balthasar Resinarius's Das Vater unser sets the Lord's Prayer in German. This sacred motet is written for double choir (STTB, SATB), offering rich textural possibilities. The music reflects the solemnity and profound meaning of the prayer, tracing its progression from invocation to petition for daily needs, forgiveness, and deliverance from evil. It is particularly suited for services during seasons of reflection and penitence, or as a powerful statement of faith in any liturgical context. The demanding vocal writing across both choirs calls for a skilled ensemble to bring out the full expressive depth of the text and the composer's intricate part-writing.
