Description
The melody of this song from Schemelli’s Songbook – recorded here for All of Bach with tenor Daniel Johannsen and organist Leo van Doeselaar – is by Johan Schop. Johann Sebastian Bach kept to the harmonic basis by his Early Baroque colleague, making only a couple of melodic changes. This is exceptional, as Bach frequently arranged Renaissance melodies with unparalleled versatility. But in the case of this hymn, he retained Schop’s almost closed harmonic world.
