Ehre Sei Dir, Christe (Christ to You Be Honor) (HL 8596787)

Heinrich Schütz was one of the great German masters of vocal music, serving as a bridge between the early contrapuntal school of Palestrina and the later contrapuntal school of Bach and Handel. This motet illustrates both homophonic and contrapuntal techniques and concludes Schütz's setting of The St. Matthew Passion. Available: SATB a cappella. Duration: ca. 2:13.
