Aus tiefer Not schrei Ich zu Dir, Op. 65, No. 45 Click to Listen, [3:6]
The chorale alternates between the Choir Clarinet and the French Horn coupled to Great Concert Flute and plays against appropriate string combinations on the Swell. Composer's instructions involve "lamentoso, lugubre and misterioso" and the organ definitely seems up to it. Ues the 1.5 GB subset of Instrument: E.M. Skinner Organ, Opus 719 at Our Lady of Mount Carmel - Chicago, Illinois (1928) - Samples by Brett Milan

Chorale Text
German:
Aus tiefer Not schrei ich zu dir,
Herr Gott, erhör mein Rufen;
Dein gnädig Ohr neig her zu mir
Und meiner Bitt sie öffne!
Denn so du willt das sehen an,
Was Sünd und Unrecht ist getan,
Wer kann, Herr, vor dir bleiben?

English:
In deep distress I cry to thee,
Lord God, hear thou my calling;
Thy gracious ear bend low to me
And open to my crying!
For if thou wilt observance make
Of sin and deed unjustly done,
Who can, Lord, stand before thee?
--Tr. Z. Philip Ambrose
