Machet die Tore weit Choir - Sheet Music
This composition, which survives in five manuscripts, is predominantly attributed to Heinrich Schütz, but does not fit in well stylistically with the rest of Schütz's oeuvre. In one of the manuscripts, however, Schütz's name has been erased and "M. Samuelis Rülingij" is noted instead, which points to the Dresden Kreuzkantor and later archdeacon at the Kreuzkirche Samuel Rüling. Could it be that Schütz revised one of Rüling's compositions? The Dresden Schütz researcher Wolfram Steude (1931-2006) saw breaks in the composition that could possibly support such ‘teamwork’. The composition with its alternation of eight-part motet-like sections with three-part "intermedia" (SST, Bc) is easy to perform and rich in variety. An unusual composition for the Christmas repertoire.
