Gott sei gelobet und gebenedeiet by Hans Leo Hassler — Lyrics
Gott sei gelobet und gebenedeiet,
der uns selber hat gespeiset
mit seinem Fleische und mit seinem Blute;
das gib uns, Herr Gott, zugute.
Kyrieleison.
Herr, du nahmest menschlichen Leib an,
der von deiner Mutter Maria kam.
Durch dein Fleisch und dein Blut
hilf uns, Herr, aus aller Not.
Kyrieleison.
Der heilig Leib, der ist für uns gegeben
zum Tod, dass wir dadurch leben.
Nicht größre Güte konnte er uns schenken,
dabei wir sein solln gedenken.
Kyrieleison.

About Gott sei gelobet und gebenedeiet
Hans Leo Hassler's motet Gott sei gelobet und gebenedeiet opens with a rich SATB texture, the voices weaving together in intricate counterpoint. The German sacred text is a profound meditation on the Eucharist, focusing on Christ's sacrifice and the spiritual nourishment received through communion. The composer masterfully sets the words, with moments of intense devotion and fervent prayer. The music reflects the solemnity and deep faith of the text, culminating in expressions of gratitude for divine love and mercy. This is a compelling setting for choirs looking to explore significant Renaissance sacred repertoire.
