About Hilf, Gott, wie geht das immer zu
This sacred motet for SATTB voices, Hilf, Gott, wie geht das immer zu, is by Jacob Meiland. The German text laments the obstinacy of worldly rulers who conspire against God and his son, Jesus Christ. Meiland’s setting expresses this text with directness and a sense of urgent plea. The motet would be suitable for a liturgical setting during a season of reflection or penitence, or as a powerful concert item. Its rich SATTB texture allows for a full and resonant sound, ideal for conveying the weight and gravity of the text’s message.
