Today, Cherubini is particularly known for his large-scale church music works. This solo voice for alto with string accompaniment (organ ad lib.), which has not been published since the first edition in the early 19th century, proves that his shorter compositions with a small number of voices can also claim a place in today's church music repertoire. The devotional prayer text inspired Cherubini to a late classical, intimate movement, which gives the soloist in particular the opportunity to expressive form. With German and Latin text.
