Verleih uns Frieden

The sacred concerto "Verleih uns Frieden" is a moving vocal work of timeless beauty and deep spirituality. In an intimate and expressive setting for two equal voices—optionally two sopranos or two tenors—this composition of the traditional prayer for peace unfolds into a poignant musical dialogue. Supported by the harmonic foundation of the basso continuo, the voices intertwine into artful melodic lines filled with comfort, depth, and hope.

Published by the renowned Carus-Verlag, this carefully prepared full score provides soloists and chamber ensembles with an exceptional and reliable edition. Whether performed in church services, sacred evening concerts, or the recital hall, this masterpiece enriches any programme and deeply touches performers and audiences alike.
