About Bethlehem non es
Leonhard Paminger's setting of Bethlehem non es is a sacred SATB motet in Latin. It sets a text that draws on the prophecy of Micah 5:2, identifying Bethlehem as a significant place from which a ruler will emerge to govern the people of Israel. The text speaks of this leader's role in saving his people from their sins. Paminger's composition belongs to the tradition of Renaissance sacred music, offering a devotional setting of this important antiphon for a mixed-voice choir.
