Erbarm dich mein, Herre Gott

Lohet’s composition on the melody of psalm 51 sounds to me like it was originally written for voices. It’s a more simple composition than his composition on the melody of psalm 8. It has nevertheless some surprises: parallel octaves and quints appear frequently and there are some colourful dissonants that would have been hard to sing. So perhaps it’s a pure instrumental composition after all.
