Psalm 130 (Kiel)

In eighteen eighty-three, Kiel composed with glee, Six motets for the choir, Sung a cappella, no higher. In German, they're directed, To praise and to inspire, The voices of the choir. Bote & Bock published the score, For all to adore, Dedicated to Köstlin, A tribute to his skill within. Sechs Motetten, they were named, By Kiel, they were acclaimed, For a mixed choir to sing, Their voices in harmony ring. So let us gather 'round, And let the motets resound, With voices pure and clear, The choir brings joy near. Random page: FADO - False and Authentic Documents Online
