About Geuß sehr tief in das Herz hinein
This SATB setting of Philipp Nicolai's chorale Wie schön leuchtet der Morgenstern is by Michael Praetorius. The German text is a rich meditation on the beauty of Christ, drawing on imagery from the Song of Songs and the Old Testament. It is a devotional hymn, celebrating Christ as the bright morning star, the root of Jesse, and the bridegroom of the soul. The lyrics express profound love and devotion, culminating in a plea for Christ's love to be deeply imprinted on the heart. Praetorius's arrangement brings this powerful text to life for a four-part choir.
