Ehre sei Gott in der Höh’!

Frieden gibt dem Erdental.

About Hymne
Suitable for a church choir, Christian Gottlieb Belcke's Hymne sets a German text that echoes the Gloria from the Christmas liturgy. The words express praise and glory to God on high, with peace on earth and goodwill towards humanity. They speak of God's pleasure in mankind and the peace He grants to the valley of the earth, before bidding humankind to listen to the resounding angelic announcement of the hosts' power through the night. This TTBB setting brings a rich, resonant sound to the sacred text, ideal for a festival or Advent service.
