Aus tiefer Not schrei ich zu dir(2) 4vv-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) 4vv-1
Aus tiefer Not schrei ich zu dir is a powerful German sacred hymn setting by Michael Praetorius. The text expresses a profound plea to God from a state of deep distress, acknowledging human sinfulness and seeking divine mercy and forgiveness. Praetorius sets this text for SSAB voices, creating a rich yet intimate sound world. The composer's setting carefully crafts the emotional journey of the text, from the initial cry for help to the ultimate reliance on God's grace and forgiveness. This piece offers a compelling musical reflection on themes of penitence and divine compassion, suitable for liturgical settings and thoughtful choral programming.
