Hosianna in der Hohe by Michael Praetorius — Lyrics
About Hosianna in der Hohe
Michael Praetorius’s Hosianna in der Hohe is a jubilant motet for double choir (SSATTB). The composer conjures a sense of overwhelming praise and adoration through the vibrant interplay of the eight voices, building to a powerful climax. The German text, a direct quotation from the Gospels, proclaims Hosanna in the highest, blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Praetorius’s setting vividly captures the exultant atmosphere of the acclamation, making this a thrilling addition to any liturgical or concert programme.
