Justin Heinrich Knecht's compositional interpretation of Moses Mendelssohn's poetic translation of the 6th psalm bears the force of Enlightenment ideas in its music. Effective instrumentation, the targeted use of the choir and vocal soloists together with contrasting dynamics communicate the entire emotional spectrum of this psalm text. Knecht created an early Romantic piece of south German church music which has unjustly lain in obscurity for too long. As in his other psalm compositions, the scoring can be regarded as flexible, allowing parts to be omitted or unavailable instruments to be substituted by similar sounding ones according to the forces available. Score available separately - see item CA.3750100.

Justin Heinrich Knecht wurde 1752 in Biberach an der Riss geboren, wo er auch nach einem reich erfullten Musikerleben - er war Lehrer, Organist, Kantor und Dirigent der angesehenen Biberacher Orchestervereinigung - 1817 starb Im pastoralen Charakter der ,,Hirtengesange spiegelt sich der galant-empfindsame Stil der Epoche, und die klaviermassig angelegten Variationen entsprechen ganz der suddeutschen Orgelmusikpflege. Der Wandel der geistigen und asthetischen Auffassung in der 2. Halfte des 18. Jahrhunderts liess nicht nur die Orgel in das Fahrwasser der weltlichen Musik geraten, er bahnte auch der Darstellung von Gewitter und Sturm, die bis dahin weitgehend szenischen und oratorischen Werken vorbehalten war, den Weg auf die Orgelemporen. Die ,,Hirtenwonne ist eine durchkomponierte Szene, die in eine klar uberschaubare dreiteilige Grossform eingebunden ist. 1. und 5. Satz beinhalten die Hirtengesange, der 3. Satz enthalt das in die musikalische Romantik vorausweisende Gewitter. Die beiden restlichen Satze haben Gelenkfunktion. Der symmetrischen Gesamtanlage der Komposition scheinen auch die 20 Donnerstellen zu entsprechen, die die Cluster-Technik unseres Jahrhunderts vorwegnehmen. Der starkste ,,Donner mit Schlagen erdrohnt genau in der Werkmitte.
