ABC - Sv. Jakuba, apoštola by Karel Bříza — Lyrics
ODP.: Kdo sejí v slzách, žnout budou s jásotem.
1. Když Hospodin přiváděl sionské zajatce,
byli jsme jako ve snách.
Tehdy byla naše ústa plná smíchu
a náš jazyk plný jásotu.
ODP.
2. Tehdy se říkalo mezi pohany:
"Velkou věc s nimi udělal Hospodin!"
Ano, velkou věc s námi udělal Hospodin,
naplnila nás radost.
ODP.

About ABC - Sv. Jakuba, apoštola
This sacred responsory by Karel Bříza for two voices, Soprano and Tenor, sets a Czech text. The music opens with a focus on its character and the interplay between the voices. The lyrical content speaks of a transition from sorrow to joy, reflecting on God’s deliverance and the reward for faithfulness. The text draws parallels between the hardships of sowing and the eventual harvest of rejoicing, envisioning a future where tears are replaced with jubilation. This piece would suit a choir seeking a textually rich and vocally engaging sacred work.
