Description

Two equal voices and basso continuo (organ or harpsichord; optional cello, bassoon, trombone, guitar, lute, or other bass instrument). A setting of Psalm 27:4-5 from the Kleine geistliche Konzerte of 1636. (Eins bitte ich vom Herren) Text in both German and English included. If you're not familiar with Schütz's work, characterized by elegant vocal writing and wonderful harmonic movement, this piece is a fantastic introduction.
