Bicinium for the Genevan Psalm 91 by Christoph Dalitz — Lyrics
About Bicinium for the Genevan Psalm 91
This short, two-part setting from Christoph Dalitz explores Psalm 91, a powerful text of divine protection. The German lyrics by Ambrosius Lobwasser speak of finding refuge in the Almighty, comparing God's shelter to a shadow, a fortress, and a shield. The music likely reflects this sense of security and trust. Set for two voices (AT), this piece is a sacred hymn, suitable for services or intimate musical settings. The combination of German and French in the text reflects the historical context of Genevan psalmody, where vernacular translations were central to congregational singing.
