Es sollen wohl Berge weichen by Jacob Meiland — Lyrics
Denn es sollen wohl Berge weichen und Hügel hinfallen, aber meine Gnade soll nicht von dir weichen, und der Bund meines Friedens soll nicht hinfallen, spricht der HErr, dein Erbarmer.
About Es sollen wohl Berge weichen
Jacob Meiland’s motet Es sollen wohl Berge weichen for SSATB voices opens with a sense of immense power and awe, reflecting the grandeur of the biblical text. The music swells and recedes, with voices often moving in homophony to underline the emphatic pronouncements of God’s unwavering grace and covenant of peace. The text, drawn from Isaiah, speaks of the steadfastness of divine love, even when the natural world seems to crumble. Meiland’s skillful use of vocal textures creates a rich and resonant sound world, ideal for a contemplative yet majestic sacred setting.
