About this arrangement

SATB Choir SKU: BT.HBLHIC6020 Choral Score. Helbling Musikverlag #HBLHIC6020. Published by Helbling Musikverlag (BT.HBLHIC6020). German.Taking the language of classical-romantic music as his starting point, Michael Aschauer, in his new setting of Paul Gerhardt’s famous text Sollt ich meinem Gott nicht singen (Should I not sing to my Lord?), makes God’s caringand compassionate love and humanity’s plea for His mercy immediately tangible through an exceptional variety of melody, harmony and harmonic techniques. Each verse of the poem opens with the same expressive melodic phrase; themiddle sections are each structured differently, as demanded by the rich content of the text, but then in turn lead into a uniform final figure - just as God’s love eternally endures. A stirring and relatively easy-to-singchoral composition for religious services and concerts of religious music.Lyrics in German only, English translation of lyrics and English preface included.
