Die sieben Worte Jesu Christi am Kreuz

Album by Heinrich Schütz & Les Sacqueboutiers & Clément Janequin

Die sieben Worte Jesu Christi am Kreuz is a sacred composition by Heinrich Schütz, published in 1645. The work is an early Baroque vocal setting of Christ's seven last words, characterised by concise polyphony, rhetorical declamation and an economy of forces that reflects Schütz's synthesis of Renaissance counterpoint and emerging Baroque expressivity, and it occupies a distinct place within his sacred oeuvre as a concentrated biblical meditation.
