Description:
The motet "Machet die Tore weit" by Andreas Hammerschmidt is one of the most glamorous and well-known works of Baroque Advent music. With this setting of the 24th Psalm, the Bohemian-Saxon composer created a festive piece for six-part mixed choir that masterfully captures the joyful anticipation of the coming of Christ.
The work is characterized by its magnificent sound development and the effective alternation between polyphonic interweaving and jubilant, homophonic cries such as the characteristic "Hosianna". Hammerschmidt's tonal language combines the technical rigor of counterpoint with a vivid interpretation of the text that was modern for his time. Thanks to its tonal majesty and rhythmic dynamics, "Machet die Tore weit" is still an indispensable part of the Christmas choral tradition today and opens countless Advent concerts worldwide.
