SATB
This recently rediscovered work for a cappella SATB choir takes three verses from
the hymn "Lobe den Herren" and reimagines them in new settings. The outer two verses are more jubilant in character while the middle verse is set as a canon in a minor key, mirroring the textual content of the verse.
