We sing in hope we sing in praise
To you O Lord
Our voice we raise
In prayer we sing!
V1
Blessed be the poor in spirit
The Kingdom of Heaven is theirs
Blessed be to those in mourning
For they shall be comforted
Refrain:
V2
Blessed be the meek and gentle
For they shall inherit the earth
Blessed be to those who hunger
For they shall be satisfied
V3
Blessed all those who show mercy
For mercy they shall receive
Blessed be those with a pure heart
For they all shall see their God

German composer and violinist Johann Pfeiffer (1697 - 1761) was born in Nuremberg and made a career as concertmaster in various orchestras throughout southern Germany. Much of his life was spent in Bayreuth, working for the court of Wilhelmine of Prussia, Margravine of Bayreuth, teaching her composition and violin. During his lifetime, he composed a variety of orchestra and chamber music, including this Concerto in B-flat Major in three movements: Allegro ma non troppo, Andante, and Allegretto. In this edition, Victor Van Puijenbroeck has created a piano reduction of the orchestral score and also has adapted the lute part to be played on guitar. Included are parts for both lute (the part has been adapted from lute tablature to modern notation) and guitar (capotasto).
