Aus tiefer Not schrei ich zu dir(2) 3vv-1 by Michael Praetorius — Lyrics
Aus tiefer Not schrei' ich zu dir,
Herr Gott, erhoer' mein Rufen,
Dein gnädig' Ohren kehr zu mir,
Und meiner Bitt' sie öffen!
Denn so du willst das sehen an,
Was Sünd' und Unrecht ist getan,
Wer kann, Herr, vor dir bleiben?

About Aus tiefer Not schrei ich zu dir(2) 3vv-1
This powerful German motet is ideal for Lenten services, its text a profound plea for mercy and forgiveness. Michael Praetorius sets the words of the well-known penitential psalm, calling on God's grace in the face of human sinfulness. The three-part male-voice setting (TTB) offers a rich, resonant sound, perfect for a cappella performance or with simple organ accompaniment. Its direct and earnest musical language makes it an accessible yet deeply moving choice for choirs seeking significant sacred repertoire.
