About Heilig ist Gott
The familiar words of the Sanctus from the Mass are set here by Wilhelm Friedemann Bach. The text, sung in both Latin and German, proclaims God's holiness and glory, filling heaven and earth, and blesses him who comes in the Lord's name. This SATB motet offers a powerful setting of the sacred liturgy, reflecting the style of its time. Its rich harmonies and soaring lines convey the awe and adoration inherent in the Sanctus proclamation, making it a significant example of Bach's sacred choral output.
