Robert Shaw's edition of this short Brahms motet (Opus 29) was prepared before Shaw's untimely death in 1999 and is the first of his editions to be published posthumously. The publication contains both German and English texts as well as Mr. Shaw's meticulous markings for performance in either language. This beautiful setting would be appropriate for Communion, Lent, or at any time during the church year.
A cappella.
