Description :
Reprint of the first edition. Friedrich Spitta recommended to Herzogenberg that he set Gerhard Tersteegen’s text “Gott ist Gegenwärtig” on the occasion of that poet’s 200th birthday. Besides the obbligato organ, Herzogenberg restricted the instrumentation to strings, two trumpets, three trombones and timpani, and thus achieved a majestic quality which corresponds to the text.
