Aus Herzem Grund schrei ich zu dir,
Herr Gott erhör mein Stimme.

und meine Bitt aufnimme.

About Aus Herzem Grund
Tobias Haak's motet Aus Herzem Grund is a deeply devotional setting for SSATB choir with a divided tenor and bass line (TB). Composed in German, this sacred work draws on the rich tradition of Lutheran motets. The text, beginning "Aus Herzem Grund schrei ich zu dir, Herr Gott erhör mein Stimme" (From heart's depth I cry to you, Lord God hear my voice), is a prayer seeking divine attention and mercy. It reflects on the human condition of sin and vulnerability, pleading for God's grace. The extended voicing allows for rich harmonic colours and expressive contrasts, ideal for a choir seeking a profound and moving sacred work that explores themes of penitence and faith.
