General Information

Title: Nun lobet Gott im hohen Thron or "From all that dwell below the skies" (both texts after Psalm 117)
Composer: Christoph Dalitz

Number of voices: 2vv Voicing: AT
Genre: Sacred, Chorale

Languages: German, English
. Published: 2008

Description: Polyphonic two part setting of a metric psalm from Caspar Ulenberg's "Psalmen Davids in allerlei deutsche Gesangreime gebracht" (Cologne, 1582) with the cantus firmus in the lower voice. This hymn can still be found in many modern hymn books, so that this Biinium can be sung alternating with the congregation hymn.

To make this piece also accessible to English speaking singers, I have prepared an English version by underlying the metric translation "From all that dwell below the skies" of the same Psalm from Isaac Watt's "Psalms Imitated in the Language of the New Testament" (1719).
