Ich weiß, daß mein Erlöser lebt, SWV 393 by Heinrich Schütz — Lyrics
Ich weiß, daß mein Erlöser lebt, und er wird mich hernach aus der Erden auferwecken, und werde danach mit dieser meiner Haut umgeben werden, und werde in meinem Fleisch Gott sehen. Denselben werde ich mir sehen, und meine Augen werden ihn schauen und kein Fremder.
About Ich weiß, daß mein Erlöser lebt, SWV 393
Heinrich Schütz's motet Ich weiß, daß mein Erlöser lebt unfolds with a rich texture, skillfully weaving together the six voices of SSAATBB. The composer explores the profound text with a dramatic intensity that reflects its theological weight. The intricate interplay between the vocal lines creates moments of both profound contemplation and powerful affirmation, mirroring the journey from doubt to unwavering faith. Schütz's mastery of polyphony and word-painting is evident throughout, making this a deeply expressive setting of the confident declaration of resurrection and divine sight.
