Description:
With the deeply moving motet "Selig sind die Toten, die in dem Herren sterben" (SWV 391), Heinrich Schütz created one of the most poignant masterpieces of early Baroque choral music. As No. 23 from his renowned 1648 collection "Geistliche Chor-Music", this composition touches hearts with its intimate musical language, masterful text setting, and profound sense of solace. This Urtext choral score from the prestigious Bärenreiter Verlag combines scholarly accuracy with excellent readability for rehearsals and performances. Scored for five-part mixed choir (SSATB) and basso continuo, it unfolds a warm, richly textured polyphony that captivates both singers and audiences. An essential choral gem for concerts, church services, and memorial occasions.
