Gottfried August Homilius: Habe Deine Lust

Product Description

The motets of Gottfried August Homilius are among the most demanding and interesting works for choir. Homilius left to posterity an extensive oeuvre, including more than sixty motets. In their day, his works were very popular and extraordinarily well circulated. 2014 marks the tricentennial of Homilus' birth. The vocal ensemble sirventes Berlin is led by Stefan Schuck.

Review

Passing over Awards nominees and monthly Editor's Choices, I recommend this selection of motets by Gottfried August Homilius, a pupil of JS Bach whose music seems to span periods outside its own and stands comparison with that of Bach's sons. Sirventes Berlin's subtle and dedicated performances make this disc well worth exploring. --Gramophone
