Sehet, wir gehn hinauf

With the evocative cantata "Sehet, wir gehn hinauf" for Quinquagesima Sunday (Estomihi), a deeply moving sacred work unfolds to usher performers and listeners into the Lenten season. This expressive composition weaves together solo highlights for alto, tenor, and bass with resonant passages for four-part mixed choir (SATB), delicately supported by strings and basso continuo. A standout moment is the artful incorporation of the chorale "Sei gegrüsset, Jesu gütig", offering spaces of profound contemplation and devotion.

Edited by Walter Dold and published by the renowned Strube Verlag, this significant work is presented here as a complete full score. A truly enriching addition to the repertoire for choirs and ensembles looking to bring poignant spiritual depth to church services and Passiontide concerts.
