- Herzlich tut mich verlangen, Op. 67, No. 14
[1:50]
Very traditional compositional technique is used here, only the doubling of the chorale in octaves, the rich harmonic vocabulary, dynamics and stong
ritard would give away its German romantic origins. Uses the Harmonic Flute 8' on the manual coupled to the Bourdon 16' on the pedal.
Instrument:
Schantz at First Baptist Church of Riverside, California (1966) sampled by Jonathan Orwig
- Chorale Text
German:
Herzlich tut mich verlangen
Nach einen selgen End,
Weil ich hier bin umfangen
Mit Trübsal und Elend.
Ich hab Lust abzuscheiden
Von dieser argen Welt,
Sehn mich nach ewgen Freuden,
O Jesu, komm nur bald!
--Christoph Knoll, 1605
English:
My heart is filled with longing
To pass away in peace;
For woes are round me thronging
And trials will not cease.
Oh fain would I be hasting,
From thee, dark world of gloom,
To gladness everlasting.
O Jesus! quickly come.
--tr. Catherine Winkworth
