Motet  for Good Friday
for four-part mixed choir and solo cello, 6'10"

Sheet music sample (PDF)

Text taken from the Easter Drama of Muri (mid 13^th Century)

so we wirt mir niemer me,
so do ich din ungemah,
here, an dem chrüce sah.
da wider bin ich aber vro,
sit mir ist gelungen so,
daz du, suozer Ihesus Christ,
von dem tode erstanden bist
vnd mir diu selde ist beshehen
daz dih, here, hant gesehen
vil selichlihe togen
min sündigen ogen.
aller sundere trost,
hilf mir daz ich werde erlost.
