About Diese letzten haben nur eine Stunde gearbeitet
Wolfgang Carl Briegel's motet Diese letzten haben nur eine Stunde gearbeitet sets a parable from Matthew's Gospel to music. The text, sung here in German, tells of the laborers in the vineyard, exploring themes of divine generosity and challenging human perceptions of fairness. The parable culminates in the pronouncement that the last shall be first and the first last, a profound statement on God's ways. Briegel crafts this SATB setting to reflect the dramatic and theological weight of the scripture, offering a thoughtful and engaging contrapuntal exploration of the text's message for a sacred context.
