Musik als Zeugnis der Auslegungsgeschichte. Heinrich Schützens Motette Die mit Tränen säen aus der Geistlichen Chormusik

Abstract

The musical form of this motet as realized by Schütz differs from the textual form of verses 5 and 6 of Psalm 126, characterized by parallelism of elements. An attempt is made to understand this difference as symbolic and to justify it in light of the history of the Psalm's interpretation.
