About A - 1. neděle postní
This sacred responsory for two voices, S and T, is set in Czech. The music opens with a direct interplay between the voices, establishing a contrapuntal texture. The text, drawn from penitential psalmody, is a plea for divine mercy and purification. It moves through an acknowledgment of sin, a request for a clean heart and renewed spirit, and a yearning for the joy of salvation, culminating in a desire to proclaim God's praise. The setting is likely suited for services during Lent, reflecting the somber and reflective nature of the season.
