I. Quam pulchrae sunt mammae tuae (1610) for two five-part choirs

II. Sponsa velut Christo juncta est Ecclesia Sponso (1619) for seven-part choir

These two motets are the only surviving works by Georg Patermann, and show him to be a composer of talent, even by the high standards set by the many protestant church musicians at the start of the seventeenth century. At the same time, the pieces reﬂect the way that music was used at that time – as an accompaniment to the celebration of love and as a part of prosperous burghers’ self-presentation.

The motets are published by the Danish Centre for Music Publication of the Royal Library in cooperation with Edition·S – music¬sound¬art.
