Frohlocket mit Händen by Crato Bütner — Lyrics
Frohlocket mit Händen alle Völcker,
und jauchtzet Gott mit frölichem Schalle,
den der Herr, der allerhöchste ist erschrecklich,
ein großer König auf dem gantzen Erdboden.
Er wird die Völcker unter uns zwingen.
und die Leute unter unser Füße.

About Frohlocket mit Händen
Crato Bütner's Frohlocket mit Händen is a grand motet for double choir (SSAAATTB), celebrating God as the supreme king and conqueror. The festive German text, drawn from Psalm 47, calls for universal rejoicing and praise. The music opens with exuberant calls and responses, building to a powerful declaration of God's dominion. The interplay between the eight vocal parts creates a rich and resonant sound, reflecting the text's themes of exultation and God's majesty. This work is a powerful expression of sacred praise, suited for a substantial choral ensemble.
