Du bist aller Dinge schön by Melchior Franck — Lyrics
Du bist aller Dinge schön, meine Freundin, und ist kein Flecken an dir.
Komm, meine Braut von Libanon.
Du hast mir das Herz genommen, meine Schwester, liebe Braut.
Wie schön sind deine Brüste, meine Schwester, liebe Braut.

About Du bist aller Dinge schön
Melchior Franck was a prolific composer of German sacred music in the late Renaissance and early Baroque periods. This motet, Du bist aller Dinge schön, is a setting of a German devotional text, likely drawing inspiration from the Song of Songs. Scored for SSATB voices, the music reflects the rich harmonic language of its time. The text, which translates to 'You are the fairest of all things, my friend, and there is no spot in you,' uses imagery of beauty and love, often interpreted in a spiritual context. Franck's setting would have been intended for use in Lutheran church services, showcasing his skill in creating devotional music for mixed-voice choirs.
