jan 1, 1529 - Ein feste Berg (NAWM 46c)
Description:
Composer: Martin LutherThe title translates to “A Sturdy Fortress”. It is an original chorale (both text and music are credited to Luther). The words are based on Psalm 46 (a stirring statement of faith in God’s power to protect believers). Such would have been very relevant due to the brutal doctrinal struggles, as this was only 12 years after the thesis incident.
