Nunc dimittis servum tuum Domine

Immerse yourself in the rich sound world of the Baroque era with this masterful setting of the Canticle of Simeon: "Nunc dimittis servum tuum Domine", presented here in a meticulously prepared full score edition by Musikverlag C. Hofius. This magnificent motet à 9 captivates listeners with its extraordinarily colorful instrumentation, in which four violas (SSAT) and bassoon enter into a deeply moving dialogue with four vocal parts (two canti, tenor, and bass) and organ/basso continuo. Preserved in a precious manuscript from the renowned Düben Collection at the Uppsala University Library, this edition brings a remarkable musical treasure back to life. Ideal for festive concerts, sacred services, and historically informed performance ensembles, this work enriches any repertoire with Baroque splendor and spiritual depth.
