Führwahr er trug unsere Krankheit

With the deeply moving Passion motet "Fürwahr, er trug unsere Krankheit" (Surely He Has Borne Our Griefs), Bärenreiter Verlag presents an outstanding piece of 20th-century sacred choral music. Featured as No. 9 from the renowned collection "Geistliche Chormusik" Op. 12 (1934–1941), this composition unfolds a profound spiritual depth and emotional intensity that captivates both singers and audiences. Scored for four-part mixed choir (SATB), the work stands out with its masterful polyphonic writing and sensitive musical interpretation of the Passion text. This practical choral score offers the clear, high-quality layout typical of Bärenreiter editions. Perfect for Passiontide liturgies, sacred concerts, or worship services, this motet is a rewarding and enriching addition to any ambitious choir's repertoire.
