Dem aber, der überschwänglich tun kann by Felix Mendelssohn — Lyrics
Dem aber, der überschwänglich tun kann über alles, das wir bitten oder verstehen, dem sei Ehre zu aller Zeit und von Ewigkeit zu Ewigkeit. Amen! (Römer 16:25)
About Dem aber, der überschwänglich tun kann
Felix Mendelssohn’s sacred motet Dem aber, der überschwänglich tun kann opens with a grand, declamatory statement from the full SATB choir, immediately establishing its devotional character. The music captures the text’s overwhelming sense of divine power and glory, drawn from Romans 16:25. The German language lends a rich, sonorous quality to the affirmation of God’s eternal honour. Mendelssohn’s setting moves with a powerful, organic flow, building to a triumphant conclusion. It is a substantial and moving testament to faith, suitable for a choir looking for a profound and impactful anthem.
