Petri et Pauli by Andreas Raselius — Lyrics
Da antwortet Simon Petrus und sprach:
Du bist Christus, des lebendigen Gottes Sohn.
Jesus antwortet und sprach zu ihm:
Selig bist du, Simon Jonas Sohn,
Fleisch und Blut hat dir das nicht offenbart,
sondern mein Vater im Himmel.
Und ich sage dir auch, du bist Petrus,

About Petri et Pauli
Andreas Raselius composed Petri et Pauli, a sacred motet for SSST.AATTB voices. The text is in German, drawn from the Gospel according to Matthew, recounting Jesus's declaration to Simon Peter. It highlights the pivotal moment where Jesus bestows upon Peter the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven, establishing him as the rock upon which the church will be built. This powerful scene is set with rich, eight-part polyphony, offering a profound musical interpretation of a foundational biblical narrative. The intricate vocal writing allows for a dramatic and expansive setting of Christ's words and Peter's confession.
