- Nun freut euch, lieben Christen gmein, BWV 734
[2:37]
Yet another delightful trio from the Master, with a quasi-bass part in the left hand on the Swell, a playful right hand on the Great, and all
available 4' stops for the Chorale in the Pedal (relieved by Choir Clarinet coupled at 4' + Pd Nachthorn 4' at the repeat). The alternate text for
this tune is "Es ist gewisslich an der Zeit." -1dB output volume, Impulse reverberation added, Brad Lehman temperament.

German:
Nun freut euch, liebe Christen g'mein,
Und laßt uns fröhlich springen,
Daß wir getrost und all' in ein
Mit Lust und Liebe singen,
Was Gott an uns gewendet hat,
Und seine süße Wundertat;
Gar teu'r hat er's erworben.
--Martin Luther (1523)

Rejoice, dear Christians, and let us joyfully
leap and sing together with pleasure and love,
comforted by what God has done for us
and his sweet miracle.
He has gained us at a very high price.
