Description:
Andreas Pieper's overall artistic aim to 'build a bridge of confidence to the world behind things' with his music can be heard clearly in his setting of Tollite iugum meum. The Latin-language motet for mixed a cappella choir (SATB) for the Feast of the Sacred Heart (Friday after Corpus Christi) is based on verses from the Gospel according to Matthew (Mt. 11,29). Permeated by changes of time and key, yet easy to master by amateur choirs, the piece is ideal for use in the church's liturgy. The devotion of the Sacred Heart of Jesus centres on the sin and thus also on the sinfulness of man, which is musically realized here through a steady and moderate tempo, with the sinful man standing before God without any instrumental means, completely naked so to speak.
