Simonis et Judae by Andreas Raselius — Lyrics
Das gebiet ich euch, dass ihr euch unternander liebet.
So euch die Welt hasset, so wisset, dass sie mich vor euch gehasset hat.
About Simonis et Judae
Andreas Raselius sets words from the Gospel of John in this SSATTB motet. The German text offers comfort and encouragement to believers facing persecution, urging them to love one another as Christ loved them, and reminding them that the world's hatred for them stems from its prior hatred of Christ. Raselius's setting is a powerful example of the sacred motet tradition, exploring the devotional text through rich, contrapuntal vocal writing. The five-part (SSATTB) voicing allows for a broad palette of colour and dramatic expression, ideal for a choir seeking to convey the profound message of faith and mutual support.
