Aus der Tiefe ruf ich, BWV 745 Click to Listen, [2:11]
The text is probably based on Psalm 130, and the tune is often sung during Lent as "Forty days and forty nights." A full harmonization of the chorale precedes an arpeggiated and syncopated accompaniment to the relative unadorned chorale sounded on the Great Cornet. Instrument: Casavant, Opus 3246 (1975) at Grace Lutheran Church, Champaign, Illinois - Samples by Brett Milan

Chorale Text
German:
Aus der Tiefe ruf’ ich, Herr, zu dir.
Herr, höre meine Stimme,
laß deine Ohren merken
auf die Stimme meines Flehens!

English:
Out of the depths I call to you, O Lord:
Lord, hear my cry.
Let your ears be attentive
to my cry for mercy!
