Die Stimm des Herren gehet auf den Wassern, SWV 331 by Heinrich Schütz — Lyrics
Die Stimm des Herren geht auf den Wassern, der Gott der Ehren donnert, der Herr auf großen Wassern.
Die Stimm des Herren gehet mit Macht, die Stimm des Herren gehet herrlich.
Die Stimm des Herren zubricht die Zedern, der Herr zubricht die Zedern in Libanon.
Und macht sie löcken wie ein Kalb, Libanon und Sirion, wie ein junges Einhorn.

About Die Stimm des Herren gehet auf den Wassern, SWV 331
The powerful words of Psalm 29 are set in this motet by Heinrich Schütz. The text describes the voice of the Lord thundering over the waters, shattering cedars and setting forests ablaze. Schütz vividly portrays this divine might in his SATB setting. The German text speaks of God's majesty and power, moving from the elemental force of storms to the reverence of all in his temple. This sacred work offers a dramatic and awe-inspiring musical interpretation of the biblical psalm, suitable for a choir seeking to express profound reverence and the overwhelming power of nature.
