Gottes Größe und Erbarmen (Psalm 113) by Stefan Scheiben — Lyrics
Alleluja. Laudate, pueri, Dominum; laudate nomen Domini.
Sit nomen Domini benedictum ex hoc nunc et usque in saeculum.
A solis ortu usque ad occasum laudabile nomen Domini.
Excelsus super omnes gentes Dominus, et super caelos gloria ejus.
Quis sicut Dominus Deus noster, qui in altis habitat,

About Gottes Größe und Erbarmen (Psalm 113)
Stefan Scheiben’s setting of Psalm 113, Gottes Größe und Erbarmen, unfolds with intricate interplay between the four SATB voices. The text, presented in both Latin and German, explores the boundless might and profound mercy of God, from the exaltation of His name from dawn till dusk to His humble gaze upon the earth. The music reflects the text’s contrasting themes: the majesty of God is portrayed with powerful choral writing, while His compassion for the poor and the barren is conveyed through more tender passages. This motet offers a rich exploration of the divine, suitable for contemplative services and capable of showcasing the choir’s dynamic and expressive capabilities.
