Wie schon ist es, dem Herrn zu danken - these affirmative words from Psalm 92 were used by Andreas Pieper as a basis of his composition of the same name for mixed a cappella choir (SATB), thus creating a sacred choral work that is perfect for ambitious amateur choirs and for use in church services. In this psalm song for the Sabbath day, the eternal joy at and gratitude for the deeds of the Lord become apparent both in the text and the music. In addition, the musical realization of the hymn of thanksgiving shows once again Pieper's predilection for a cappella singing. Such a limitation of the external means gives him, by his own account, 'a sense of freedom and concentration on the central musico-theological statement'. See for yourself!
