About Freuet euch, ihr Gerechten a 14
Crato Bütner’s motet Freuet euch, ihr Gerechten a 14 is a substantial Sacred work for double choir, SATB.SATB. The German text celebrates the Nativity with exclamations of joy and wonder, conveying the immense happiness brought by the birth of Christ. It moves from the Old Testament prophecy of great joy for all the faithful, to the New Testament announcement of Jesus’ birth in Bethlehem. The music reflects this festive message, with the two choirs interacting to create a rich and celebratory sound. The text’s expressions of delight and welcome, such as “O Freude, O Wonne” and “Bist willkommen du liebes Jesulein”, are musically depicted through jubilant declarations and warmly expressive phrases, offering a profound musical experience of the Christmas story.
