Deutsche Vesper by Eduard Stehle — Lyrics
About Deutsche Vesper
Eduard Stehle's Deutsche Vesper sets a German text that draws from both Psalm 110 and Psalm 111. The opening lines speak of divine authority and dominion, with the Lord speaking to His anointed, placing him at His right hand until his enemies are subdued. The text then shifts to praise, with the choir proclaiming "I will praise you, Lord, with all my heart", celebrating the Lord's great works and the eternal covenant. The composition includes a doxology, "Glory to the Father, glory to the Son, praise to the Holy Spirit", affirming the eternal nature of the Trinity. This motet for SATB voices offers a powerful and reflective setting of significant liturgical texts.
