Du bist ja doch der Herr, Op.42, No. 4

This sacred motet by Moritz Hauptmann sets a German text of profound theological reflection. For SATB choir, it is suitable for occasions requiring music of deep spiritual contemplation. The words speak of God as a constant source of hope and refuge, especially in times of hardship. They explore the enduring nature of divine love, even when earthly comforts are lost and sorrow strikes deeply. The composer's setting would bring a rich and devotional quality to a service or concert, offering a powerful message of steadfast faith and trust in the Lord.
