Schaffe in Mir Gott

Psalm 51: 10-12 is a text set to music by numerous choral composers (Brahms, Bach, Loewe and Buxtehude, to name a few); it is also a text very fitting for Lent. One of my favourite choral compositions of this text is the 17th century motet by German organist and composer Andreas Hammerschmidt. Here is this motet, beautifully sung by the Regensburger Domspatzen (Regensburg Cathedral Choir).
