Johann Rosenmüller

Fürchte dich nicht

Immerse yourself in the splendid sonorities of early Baroque sacred music with the moving setting "Fürchte dich nicht", published by Musikverlag C. Hofius. Preserved in a historic manuscript from the renowned Düben Collection at Uppsala University Library, this exquisite work unites deeply felt spiritual comfort with masterful Baroque composition.

Scored for five-part mixed choir (SSATB), two violins, two violas, and basso continuo, this full score reveals a warm and multifaceted palette of colors. The harmonious dialogue between the rich vocal polyphony and the lush string ensemble lends the motet both intimate devotion and festive grandeur.

A rewarding discovery and a true enrichment for ambitious choirs, church musicians, and early music ensembles seeking to bring historical treasures to life in concert and liturgical settings.
