A gorgeous, albeit plaintive setting of the classic Good Friday hymn for SATB choir, two treble instruments, continuo, and optional violoncello. This piece is taken from Johann Meder's (1649–1719) St. Matthew Passion (1701) and has been arranged and edited by William Braun. The stunning final stanza features the choir in rich, slow-moving four-part harmony as the instruments hasten along adorning the heaven-focused text. Purchase the instrumental parts separately, CPH Order No. 978061.
