This composition survives in the sources as a wedding song, even though the occasion it was written for is not known. It is stylistically close to the Symphoniae sacrae I, sharing its exquisite scoring with the last composition in the set (Bucinate in neomenia tuba/Jubilate Deo) with concertante instrumental parts for cornett and trumpet (or two cornetts). The text, taken from Proverbs, has an opening verse in triple meter which recurs in the middle (shortened) and at the end of the composition in the style of a ritornello, then commonly found in Italy. This verse ends with a characteristically dissonant transition for the upper instrumental parts to the final chord - as the key message of the composition. Score and parts available separately - see item CA.2045300.

Johann Hermann Schein's Israelsbrunnlein, published in Leipzig in 1623, is a supreme achievement not only among the works of this composer, who had been Thomaskantor in Leipzig since 1616, but also for the entire body of German music written during the first half of the 17th century. Among the 26 motets written in the Italian madrigal manner 23 are settings of Old Testament texts, a fact to which the collection owes its title. The source for the text of this collection is the inexhaustible fountain of the Psalms, the books of Moses, the Prophets, the Songs of Solomon, and other books of the Old Testament.
