Also werden die letzten die ersten by Melchior Franck — Lyrics
Also werden die letzten die ersten / Vnd die ersten die letzten sein. Denn viel sind beruffen / Aber wenig sind auserwelet. (Matthäus 20:16)
About Also werden die letzten die ersten
Melchior Franck's motet Also werden die letzten die ersten is a Sacred work in the German tradition. Scored for SATB choir, it sets a passage from the Gospel of Matthew, chapter 20, verses 15 and 16. The text, "Thus the last will be first and the first will be last. For many are called, but few are chosen," forms the basis for this reflective setting. Franck's composition explores the theological concept of divine election and the surprising reversals of fortune described in the biblical passage. This motet offers a powerful musical interpretation of its scriptural source, suitable for liturgical or concert settings where profound spiritual themes are explored.
