Fürchtet euch nicht

Andreas Raselius's motet Fürchtet euch nicht is a powerful setting of German sacred text. Written for SSATB choir, it belongs to the tradition of gospel motets, often performed in sacred settings. The text, taken from the Gospel of Luke, announces the birth of the Savior and the great joy that will come to all people, directly quoting the angel's message to the shepherds. Raselius's music aims to convey this profound message with conviction and spiritual depth, making it a fitting choice for choirs seeking to explore the rich repertoire of German sacred music. The composition utilizes the full vocal range of the SSATB choir to create a compelling and uplifting musical experience.
