Der 116. Psalm Das ist mir lieb (SWV 51) by the great German early Baroque composer Heinrich Schutz (1585-1672) is a setting of Psalm 116 in six sections for five voices (SSATB). This easy-to-read, scholarly edition by Andrew Thomas Kuster puts Schutz's music in modern clefs, retains the original note values, includes English translations, and has keyboard reductions to simplify rehearsal. Incipits show original part names, clefs, time signatures, and ranges. The six sections of Schutz's Psalm setting are: Das ist mir lieb, Stricke des Todes, Der Herr ist gnadig, Sei nun wieder zufrieden, Ich will den heilsamen Kelch nehmen, and In den Hofen. 40 pages. (The name of the composer of this work is also commonly spelled Heinrich Schuetz or Heinrich Schutz, edited by Andrew Kuster.)
