About De Profundis
Georg Reutter, Kapellmeister at St. Stephen's Cathedral in Vienna, wrote this setting of the Latin text De Profundis. It is a powerful and moving motet for SATB choir, embodying the penitential spirit of the psalm from which its text is drawn. The music reflects the solemnity of the plea for mercy, with Reutter's skillful handling of the voices creating a rich and resonant texture. This sacred work is a fine example of the motet tradition of its time, offering a profound musical meditation on themes of suffering, hope, and divine intervention. Its direct and earnest expression makes it a compelling choice for liturgical settings or concert performance.
