Mauersberger - Herr, lehre doch mich

Herr, lehre doch mich

The second single from our new album Traces is a beautiful prayer for lower voices by Rudolf Mauersberger.

Rudolf Mauersberger (1889-1971) was a German conductor and composer best known for his work as the conductor of the Dresdner Kreuzchor from 1930 until his death. Following our recording of his powerful motet Wie liegt die Stadt so wüst, we were pleased to discover Herr, lehre doch mich, a simple yet deeply moving prayer for lower voices with text from Psalm 39, best known in English as ‘Lord, let me know mine end’.
