Description
Psalm 112 known from Mendelssohn's musical setting is interpreted by Dieter Schnebel as a song of pilgrimage: Pilgrims setting out on a dangerous path hope for a happy return. Following the text that is declaimed simultaneously in the original Hebrew and the German translation, the music gradually moves from the deep sounds of fear to the clear heights of confidence. The organ part serves as a support for intonation, the few percussion instruments can be played by the singers.
