Composed by Johann Crüger and Hans Hassler. Arranged by Joseph I. Corporon. This edition: audio, pdf. Chamber, Christian, Lent, Religious, Sacred. 88 pages. Joseph I. Corporon #1192787. Published by Joseph I. Corporon (A0.1624312).

Three Lenten Hymns for String Sextet has been arranged by Joseph I. Corporon. Each of these classic hymns have been utilized for centuries in Christian worship, especially during the season of Lent.

The words for Ah, Holy Jesus were written in 1630 by Johann Heermann. In 1640, Johann Crüger wrote the tune that has traditionally been paired with Heermann’s text, HERZLIEBSTER JESU. This tune has been used many times by other composers, including J. S. Bach, Johannes Brahms, and Mex Reger.

Hans Hassler wrote the tune for O Sacred Head, Now Wounded in 1601. Words from an anonymous Latin source were translated and added later. The PASSION CHORALE tune as we know it today is closely tied to Johann Sebastian Bach. He wrote five different harmonizations of the melody for use in his setting of the St. Matthew Passion.

The anonymous text of What Wondrous Love Is This first appeared in the second edition of William Walker’s hymn book, Southern Harmony, in 1840. It was paired with a hymn tune named WONDROUS LOVE. Curiously, the meter of the hymn text matches an old English ballad about the pirate, Captain Kidd. See this Hymnary page for more information.
