About Drei schöne Ding sind
Johann Hermann Schein was a significant composer of the German Baroque. This motet, setting a German text, is a fine example of his sacred music. The composer explores a text that praises three things pleasing to both God and humankind: unity among brothers, love between neighbours, and harmony in marriage. Schein's rich scoring for two choirs (SSTTB and SSATB) allows for a grand and sonorous treatment of these ideals. The interplay between the choirs creates a powerful and resonant musical expression, offering a moving reflection on Christian virtues.
