De kuise Susanna by Geert van Turnhout — Lyrics
About De kuise Susanna
In this sacred motet, Geert van Turnhout tells the story of Susanna. The text, sung in Dutch, recounts Susanna bathing and the wicked elders who, hidden in the garden, desire to dishonour her. She prays to the Lord for aid, fearing to fall into their hands rather than sin against God. This dramatic narrative unfolds through the rich textures of SAATB, SATTB voices, offering a profound musical setting of a biblical tale of virtue and deliverance, suitable for liturgical occasions or significant choral concerts.
