About Kantate auf das Dreifaltigkeitsfest
This SAB setting of a German text is a sacred cantata movement for the feast of the Trinity. The opening words are a direct address of praise and honour to God the Father, asking that their praise be pleasing to Him. The text then calls on all people, and especially Christians, to rejoice in God’s love and give thanks, singing praises and falling down before the God of love. It speaks of God’s patient remembrance of His children, carrying sinners with fatherly arms and shortening their time of trial with loving mercy, leading them to salvation. The text then praises Christ, remembering His death on the cross for humanity’s sins, which has earned eternal salvation.
