Groß und wundersam

Samuel Friedrich Capricornus sets a German sacred text in this ATB motet. The music opens with a bold declaration of God's wondrous works, God's ways being just and true. The composer captures the awe and reverence inherent in the text, which questions who would not fear God's name, for He alone is holy. The piece builds towards the affirmation that God is worthy to receive all praise, honour, and power, having created all things through His will. The three voices are woven together to create a rich and compelling musical expression of this powerful devotional text.
