Herzlich tut mich verlangen – J. S. Bach, BWV 727

Chorale Prelude, BWV 727, “Herzlich tut mich verlangen” [My heart is filled with longing], Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) Arranged for viol consort by Daniel Rippe - treble, tenor, and bass viols J. S. Bach's chorale prelude on "Herzlich tut mich verlangen" uses a melody he would have known since childhood, written by Hans Leo Hassler (c1564-1612) to accompany a secular tragic love poem. Soon after, German theologian and hymn writer Christoff Knoll adapted Hassler's tune into a spiritual hymn for the dying, "Herzilich tut..." Both Hassler and Knoll created these works in 1599 during a plague. A favorite, Bach harmonized this tune no less than 10 different ways. As a chorale, it is sung with varying texts five times in his St. Matthew Passion, twice in his Christmas Oratorio, and in two of his cantatas. In the mid-1650s, Lutheran hymnist Paul Gerhardt (1607-1676) translated an ancient Latin long poem "Salve mundi salutare" into the text "O Haupt voll Blut und Wunden" [Oh Head full of blood and wounds] which he harmonized and set to the same tune as "Herzlich tut...". The stanzas each address a part of Christ's body on the cross: feet, knees, hands, pierced side, breast, heart, face. Bach knew Gerhardt's version, as well. Translated into English, Gerhardt's version is what we know today as "O Sacred Head, Now Wounded." BWV 727 survives in two manuscript copies -- one by Bach's student Johann Krebs, the other by his cousin Johann Walther -- both from the early 18th century. © 2021 RipMeister Publications
