About Matthaei
This motet by Andreas Raselius, written for SSATTB voices, sets a German text taken from the Gospel of Matthew. It is suitable for services in Ordinary Time, when the focus might be on Christ's ministry to sinners. The composer explores the biblical verses that speak of Christ's mission to call sinners to repentance, contrasting mercy with sacrifice, and stating that the healthy do not need a physician, but those who are sick. Raselius's setting is a sacred work within the tradition of German Gospel motets.
