About Komm, Heiliger Geist
Albert Becker's SSATB motet, Komm, Heiliger Geist, is a powerful setting of a German sacred text. The words, which form a prayer to the Holy Spirit, speak of the divine spirit filling hearts and igniting the fire of love. The text further invokes the Holy Spirit's power to gather peoples of the world into unity of faith through the diversity of tongues. Becker's music aims to reflect the solemnity and fervent devotion of this prayer, drawing on the rich tradition of German sacred motets. The intricate voicing for SSATB offers a rewarding challenge and a beautiful sound for a choir prepared to explore its devotional depth.
