- O Welt, ich muß dich lassen (II)
[1:42]
A very straightforward example of terrace dynamics, registered for three manuals: loud, soft, softer. Quick switching of stops allows it to be
performed on a two-manual with the same effect.
Instrument:
St. Anne's Church, Moseley, Birmingham, England (1874) - Samples by Martin Dyde
- Chorale Text
German:
O Welt, ich muß dich lassen
ich fahr dahin mein Straßen
ins ewge Vaterland.
Mein Geist will ich aufgeben,
dazu mein Leib und Leben
befel'n in Gottes gnäd'ge Hand.
English:
O world, I must leave you,
I take the road
To the eternal native country.
I will give up my spirit,
Also my body and life
Up to God's gracious hand.
