Herr Gott, dich loben alle wir

This sacred motet by Johann Hermann Schein sets a German text of praise and thanksgiving to God. The opening lines speak of all creation, beginning with the angels surrounding God’s throne, acknowledging His glory. The composer’s setting for two voices, SS, would have been suitable for a variety of devotional contexts within the Lutheran tradition. Schein's music often features clear text setting and a fluent melodic style, making this motet an accessible and expressive choice for choirs seeking a piece of German Baroque sacred repertoire.
