- Herzlich tut mich verlangen (II)
[2:21] (Kirnberger II mod. , f(A3)=468 Hz)
A restless accompaniment in the manuals adds urgency to the passion chorale as sounded in the pedal. Registration: the Positiv Weit Principal 8' (*)
with Positiv Tremulant (*), has been coupled to the Hauptwerk Grossgedeckt 8' and the Chorale melody is played on the Octav 4' + Pordonfleute 4' an
octave lower in the Pedal; the middle section goes to the Positiv where the Salicet 4' (*) is added and the Tremulant is withdrawn. The Positiv is now
enclosed (*).
(*) New features of the extended version.

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
