Our "modern" ears tend to think this is a sad chorale. In fact it reflects the deeply loving and caring hand of our lord Jesus on our shoulder. Even on the cross our omnipotent Lord was fully in charge of everything. Don't think of "poor Jesus having to suffer for our sins". Don't cry for Jesus, rather cry over your sins and embrace this most precious gift. May our Lord bless you and happy good friday from Germany.
people of the renaissance didn't have an emotional palette alien to ours. OF COURSE this tune is sad, AND loving at the same time. Since when are those incompatible ?
Excellently put - thank you. Good to be reminded that Christ was as powerful as ever on the cross. Philippians 2:6-7 tell us why he chose to remain there as opposed to calling legions of angels for asisstance..
Jeden Abend bevor ich schlafen gehe höre ich dieses schöne Lied. Es ist ein Gedenken an das Leiden und Sterben unseres Herrn. Danke dafür und Gott segne Sie.
@@ernstdombrowski8618 Wenn die Menschen sich von Gott inspirieren lassen, bringen sie ein Stückchen Himmel auf Erden. Bach - obwohl er bereits in einem protestantischen Umfeld geboren wurde - war ein sehr gläubiger Mensch, und kannte noch die Gnade an Gott zu vertrauen und sich von ihm inspirieren zu lassen, eine Gnade dass danach langsam verfälscht und im Laufe des XX Jahrh. ganz verschwunden ist. Deswegen wird nichts schönes mehr erschaffen, im gegenteil, alles Schöne wird noch zerstört.
He knew me from before I was born and He died that way for me, anyway. He loves me that much. He knew every sin I would ever commit. When His Father looks at me; He sees Him and not me. My sins are as far from me as West is from East. He will never leave me, even to the end of the age.
Paul Simon borrowed this from Bach for American Tune (1975) Bach borrowed it from Paul Gerhardt (1607 - 1676) Gerhardt borrowed it from Hans Hassler (1564 - 1612). Paul Simon's song American Tune is actually a 400 year old German tune. Like those who arrived on the Mayflower, the melody came from Germany and became an American Tune.
As a Baptist, and a very traditional one, I love these old hymns, even when they are in a foreign language. I especially love it combining a hymn and classical music. The best of both worlds.
If you want your mind blown, having heard these, now look up "Nun seid ihr wohl gerochen", the final chorale from six days of Christmas oratorios. It's so festive and Christmas-y with trumpets and timpani, and then the choir sings this Good Friday melody. It's really brilliant, both musically and liturgically
Difficult to fathom that Bach was relatively obscure for more than half a century following his death. What a genius was this master! How exquisite so many of his melodies, and this one is no exception.
It was an era without recording equipment and printing was a manually taxing endeavor. Because of that music wasn't really a permanent thing and not conducive to immortality. To the best of my knowledge Bach was during his lifetime by the standards of his time but society just wasn't set up to preserve his work.
This tune is actually older - Hans Leo Hassler ( 1500s) "Mein Gmut ist mir vervirret" ( My mood is confused ) - and slightly changed by Paul Gerhardt (1600s) into the hymn "Oh, Haupt voll Blut und Wunden" ( Oh, head full of blood and wounds ), which Bach would then adapt for this masterpiece. Later on this wonderful tune would reappear as "Because All Men are Brothers" ( Pete Seeger & Peter, Paul and Mary ) and in Paul Simon's beautiful "American Tune".
This melody is not by Bach. Many of his chorales he stole it from Luther, who stole them from the nearest pub. "Why should the devil have the best tunes"? Here is the Hassler version mentioned above th-cam.com/video/zoBPaSNr9QU/w-d-xo.html

That passing chord right at 4:35 was almost jazzy 😂 But staggering indeed...I heard a choir do this harmonizarion for the first time just a few hours ago while I was driving home...I almost jumped out of seat!!! Had no idea Bach had done that! (I've never listened to the entire St. Matthew's Passion!)
As a chorister I stand in awe of these people. The conductor is Philippe Herreweghe,it does not get any better than that in choral music. Thank you so much for posting this, it will inspire me every time I listen.
The director does an incredible job, I always thought this was a really difficult song to sing, he has them singing so well together and keeps the proper tempo perfectly. A truly amazing job.
Essa é para mim um marco na hinódia luterana e do tempo de Quaresma. Maravilhoso! Tempo de reflexão e de fé na grandiosa obra do nosso Senhor e Salvador Jesus Cristo. Muito obrigado!
Literally shat an entire brick wall upon listening to the entire St Matthews passion for the first time. O Haupt had been one of the most heartbreakingly beautiful things I have ever had the privilege of being alive on this earth and having ears to listen to but the entire beast was... Holy hot damn Bach. Some of the most gangster fucking harmonic arrangements he conceived of. I would love to hear it again for the first time and re-experience coming close to going insane to the point of compelled to type up incoherent rants on TH-cam at 3:28 am holy shit
+streight4lk Such a sad and empty comment you have for such profound music and such an uplifting event. Sad for you. Hope and pray you can find joy, wonder, and humility in this music and the gift of redemption Jesus gave to each of us called by His name.
Dan Greenie God bless you too and your LITERALLY "holier-than-thou" passive aggressive reply. Just kidding. Thanks for the thought, but it may interest you to know that I have found three out of four of those things. But how to find something that doesn't necessarily exist?
Bach is the real OG, no doubt 'bout it! He invented rap music as soon as his heart started beating. Wenn I listen to "Herr unser Herrscher" I am like: Holy shit, how would that sound on a bloody giant music festival?
i'm lucky enough to have a 40,000 watt "d&b audiotechnik" system to play with at work (they're THE BEST, used on huge stadium-level tours and festivals where money is no object - look them up!) and i have listened to bach on it. it's pretty involving, to say the least.
Insanely gorgeous and musical! Music simply doesn't get any more beautiful than this. Hans Leo Hassler - amazing. Probably the prettiest song ever written.
For me as living in a culture historically strongly influenced by Lutheranism, these chorales ultimately represent the sacred music of our cultural tradition, here divinely harmonized and set by Bach in his cantatas and passions, in the same way the even older tradition of Orthodox sacred music has influenced the Russian culture. The difference is, as the Orthodox liturgical music tradition is well alive and respected today among Orthodox Christians - though our hymns still are found in our hymnals and, I guess, will not be totally forgotten in near future - the Lutheran hymns are nowadays neglected as old-fashioned and "dull" and replaced with gospel or other popular tunes, which bear nothing of the spiritual depth of the old hymns and, maybe even more, their texts.
I'm not even a Christian but I love this music. I think Bach once stated he wrote all his music in order to honor God, and you can hear that.

Bach approved Luther. The Catholic church has had numerous composers, but God has chosen to give incredible talent to protestants like Handel and Bach.
As an American Lutheran (member of ELCA) my congregation still sings many of the old German hymns such as this and hymns from sources such as Geistliche Kirchengesange, Koln, 1623, but there seems to be a movement towards replacing these with modern hymns from places such as Latin America and Africa in an attempt to encourage diversity and shed our image as a northern European church. I personally find this to be a very unfortunate trend. I agree, at least to an extent, with Marshall McLuhan's sentiment that "the medium is the message." For me, hymns with simple, repetitive texts accompanied by music that sounds like it was written for a mariachi band seem out of place in the context of Lutheran worship.
I agree 100% with your diagnose. We need to open good taste and deep passions by such holy music. But barbarian like to dulling the mass and neglect such summits of our great masters.
I used to sing in our church choir and knew all the hymns by heart, and learned these German words which I would sing when everyone else was singing in English! 🤭
Considering the beauty and the importance of this masterpiece, in addition to it's significance in religious expression, I would smile too, for the joy of singing this, and for what Christ gave us. Or not, I have a tendency to get tears in my eyes listening to this. Or I would smile with tears in my eyes. Does it matter? The is not a single doubt in my mind that this is being performed with respect, or else they would not be doing it in the first place. Kinda hard work, for a gag, right?? people get over it, and just enjoy.
I have visited St. Sebaldus Church in Nuremberg several times in my life. Although Lutheran, it still contains the medieval shrine to St. Sebaldus, as well as statues of the Virgin Mary, the kinds of things that Protestant iconoclasts destroyed elsewhere. Priests said the Lutheran version of the Mass in this church while wearing vestments, right into the 18th century. Luther never intended to start a new denomination. His reformed church was still "catholic", and Bach's music exemplifies this, so much so that it is heard in St. Peter's in Rome. Bach's music will always be my favorite. He built cathedrals made of sound.
Bach was of course profoundly religious but I don't think you have to be to appreciate the beauty of this and to understand the intensity of the spirituality that guided its writing. There's a nice moment in an interview with Andras Schiff discussing that aspect - how, even if you aren't religious, Bach can still bring you to an understanding of the idea of God through his music; if I can find it I'll link to it.
Esta Hadassah “is said to have”? He composed an entire cantata per week. Although there are only slightly more than 300 of them extant, it is likely he composed more than 600!
When I was a little boy singing this song in church during Lent, it was very emotional to me. It's kind of graphic and the imagery would flash through my head while I sang. Most of the time it would make me choke up a bit and voice would falter.
1.[2] O Haupt voll Blut und Wunden, voll Schmerz und voller Hohn, o Haupt, zum Spott gebunden mit einer Dornenkron, o Haupt, sonst schön gezieret[3] mit höchster Ehr und Zier, jetzt aber hoch schimpfieret:[4] gegrüßet seist du mir! 2. Du edles Angesichte, davor sonst schrickt und scheut das große Weltgewichte: wie bist du so bespeit, wie bist du so erbleichet! Wer hat dein Augenlicht, dem sonst kein Licht nicht gleichet, so schändlich zugericht’? 3. Die Farbe deiner Wangen, der roten Lippen Pracht ist hin und ganz vergangen; des blassen Todes Macht hat alles hingenommen, hat alles hingerafft, und daher bist du kommen[5] von deines Leibes Kraft. 4. Nun, was du, Herr, erduldet,[6] ist alles meine Last; ich hab es selbst verschuldet,[7] was du getragen hast. Schau her, hier steh ich Armer, der Zorn verdienet hat. Gib mir, o mein Erbarmer, den Anblick deiner Gnad. 5.[8] Erkenne mich, mein Hüter, mein Hirte, nimm mich an. Von dir, Quell aller Güter, ist mir viel Guts getan; dein Mund hat mich gelabet mit Milch und süßer Kost, dein Geist hat mich begabet mit mancher Himmelslust. 6. Ich will hier bei dir stehen, verachte mich doch nicht; von dir will ich nicht gehen, wenn dir dein Herze bricht; wenn dein Haupt wird erblassen im letzten Todesstoß, alsdann will ich dich fassen in meinen Arm und Schoß. 7.[9] Es dient zu meinen Freuden und tut mir herzlich wohl, wenn ich in deinem Leiden, mein Heil, mich finden soll. Ach möcht ich, o mein Leben, an deinem Kreuze hier mein Leben von mir geben, wie wohl geschähe mir! 8. Ich danke dir von Herzen, o Jesu, liebster Freund, für deines Todes Schmerzen, da du’s so gut gemeint. Ach gib, dass ich mich halte zu dir und deiner Treu und, wenn ich nun[10] erkalte, in dir mein Ende sei. 9. Wenn ich einmal soll scheiden, so scheide nicht von mir, wenn ich den Tod soll leiden, so tritt du dann herfür; wenn mir am allerbängsten wird um das Herze sein, so reiß mich aus den Ängsten kraft deiner Angst und Pein. 10. Erscheine mir zum Schilde, zum Trost in meinem Tod, und lass mich sehn dein Bilde in deiner Kreuzesnot. Da will ich nach dir blicken, da will ich glaubensvoll dich fest an mein Herz drücken. Wer so stirbt, der stirbt wohl.
In the Lutheran church that my family attended 60 years ago, we sang a hymn in English to this old melody. I love the old hymns! There is a certain resonance that stirs up deep feelings of solemnity and piety. The new hymns don’t do that for me.
einfach fantastisch. wenn nur nicht immer diese blöden und unqualifizierten kommentare wären. einfach nur neider, weil sie keine schöne musik aus ihrem land haben
Il s"agit d'une mélodie de 1601 réutilisée par Bach pour ce choral. Les différentes versions proposées ici correspondent aux quatre utilisations de cette mélodie. Dans la dernière, la mélodie a été légèrement transformée par quelques ornementations. Par la suite, cette mélodie a été reprise pour des cantiques, dont en français Confie à Dieu ta route.
found in the same work, it very interesting to have in one continuous flow various Bach harmonization of the same (divinely beautiful) old hymn. For budding composers, a great exercise is to harmonize the naked choral and then compare with Bach's. Ouch!!! Here is a good example that explains the attraction Bach has had on jazz musicians. Among many traits, Bach is the Great Re-harmonizer .
Claude Dietrich agreed. they’re all special but that last one is just breathtaking eh? but interesting to hear the shift from major to minor, and the increasing dissonance, and how those significant changes still serve the melody beautifully.
Celestial Music, sung by Angels,descend from Heaven to Earth! Here we have a startling reversal! A Terrestrial Choir is presenting Celestial Music to Heaven!!! V.W.
Der Text ist von Luther. Bach hat, wie viele andere Musikstücke, diesen Choral in sein Werk eingebaut. Heute würde man sagen: Plagiat oder geklaut. Damals war man großzügiger. Am meisten hat Bach sich selbst beklaut. Nur so entsteht ein großes vielstimmiges einzigartiges Werk.
Irma P. Im Gesangbuch von Wolgadeutsche ist das Lied "O Haupt,voll Blut und Wunden.." und unten steht geschrieben das Paul Gerhard hat das Lied gedichtet. Schauen Sie an dort N 147 (Wolgagesangbuch)
I was born Hindu and raised as a doubtful scientist, but I took classical piano lessons from age eight. For me, Bach's music is pure magic, and it makes me appreciate religion more, in its beautiful expression
I left God and religion 17years ago. Been astray for all those years till my Lord God Jesus Christ called me back again to His side. Listen careful, He is calling you too...
Eines der schönsten Lieder die es gibt. Mit einer wunderbaren Aussage. So Wunderschön gesungen🤍🙏

Diese scheinbar schlichte Melodie rührt mich immer wieder zu Tränen!!
„Jesu bleibet meine Freude“ und „o Haupt voll Blutbild Wunden“ sind für mich die schönsten Stücke, die Bach komponiert hat

Loving and sadness are not contradictory. Gospel is both a love story and a sad story.

Evin Rude I'm crying,too
It was the frozen picture at the start that got me.
When I was a little boy singing this song in church during Lent, it was very emotional to me. It's kind of graphic and the imagery would flash through my head while I sang. Most of the time it would make me choke up a bit and voice would falter.
You need ein Klein Kleenex

O Haupt voll Blut und Wunden,
voll Schmerz und voller Hohn,
o Haupt, zum Spott gebunden
mit einer Dornenkron,
o Haupt, sonst schön gezieret[3]
mit höchster Ehr und Zier,
jetzt aber hoch schimpfieret:[4]
gegrüßet seist du mir!
2.
Du edles Angesichte,
davor sonst schrickt und scheut
das große Weltgewichte:
wie bist du so bespeit,
wie bist du so erbleichet!
Wer hat dein Augenlicht,
dem sonst kein Licht nicht gleichet,
so schändlich zugericht’?
3.
Die Farbe deiner Wangen,
der roten Lippen Pracht
ist hin und ganz vergangen;
des blassen Todes Macht
hat alles hingenommen,
hat alles hingerafft,
und daher bist du kommen[5]
von deines Leibes Kraft.
4.
Nun, was du, Herr, erduldet,[6]
ist alles meine Last;
ich hab es selbst verschuldet,[7]
was du getragen hast.
Schau her, hier steh ich Armer,
der Zorn verdienet hat.
Gib mir, o mein Erbarmer,
den Anblick deiner Gnad.
5.[8]
Erkenne mich, mein Hüter,
mein Hirte, nimm mich an.
Von dir, Quell aller Güter,
ist mir viel Guts getan;
dein Mund hat mich gelabet
mit Milch und süßer Kost,
dein Geist hat mich begabet
mit mancher Himmelslust.
6.
Ich will hier bei dir stehen,
verachte mich doch nicht;
von dir will ich nicht gehen,
wenn dir dein Herze bricht;
wenn dein Haupt wird erblassen
im letzten Todesstoß,
alsdann will ich dich fassen
in meinen Arm und Schoß.
7.[9]
Es dient zu meinen Freuden
und tut mir herzlich wohl,
wenn ich in deinem Leiden,
mein Heil, mich finden soll.
Ach möcht ich, o mein Leben,
an deinem Kreuze hier
mein Leben von mir geben,
wie wohl geschähe mir!
8.
Ich danke dir von Herzen,
o Jesu, liebster Freund,
für deines Todes Schmerzen,
da du’s so gut gemeint.
Ach gib, dass ich mich halte
zu dir und deiner Treu
und, wenn ich nun[10] erkalte,
in dir mein Ende sei.
9.
Wenn ich einmal soll scheiden,
so scheide nicht von mir,
wenn ich den Tod soll leiden,
so tritt du dann herfür;
wenn mir am allerbängsten
wird um das Herze sein,
so reiß mich aus den Ängsten
kraft deiner Angst und Pein.
10.
Erscheine mir zum Schilde,
zum Trost in meinem Tod,
und lass mich sehn dein Bilde
in deiner Kreuzesnot.
Da will ich nach dir blicken,
da will ich glaubensvoll
dich fest an mein Herz drücken.
Wer so stirbt, der stirbt wohl.
Is this the full text of the original hymn? I read the words were originally written by Paul Gerhardt in 1656, but I wasn't sure of the source
tragen des kranzes zum gedenken an prometheus
Thanks, danke, dziynki
Beyond lovely.
In the Lutheran church that my family attended 60 years ago, we sang a hymn in English to this old melody. I love the old hymns! There is a certain resonance that stirs up deep feelings of solemnity and piety. The new hymns don’t do that for me.
got the chills!!
loved to sing it. it's an amazing piece.
einfach fantastisch. wenn nur nicht immer diese blöden und unqualifizierten kommentare wären. einfach nur neider, weil sie keine schöne musik aus ihrem land haben
Thanks so much for this video! I'm studying Matthew Passion for A level music so this is really useful!
I did A level music twenty years ago and we mostly study Cats by Andrew Lloyd Webber, so you're lucky ;)

Man reached the hights of civilisation here ....
Margaretha Rypkema i think that’s quite literally true!
@@silvertone953 Arguable ....but not inarguable!
Perhaps aesthetically…but then I think of the indoor toilets and penicillin…
Bach St Matthew Matthäus Passion BWV 244, Herreweghe at 1:38:41 comes between ich will and O Haupt.
Thank you, not sure why I missed that one!
Tiefgehender Choral - ergreifend !!
absolute perfection
Il s"agit d'une mélodie de 1601 réutilisée par Bach pour ce choral. Les différentes versions proposées ici correspondent aux quatre utilisations de cette mélodie. Dans la dernière, la mélodie a été légèrement transformée par quelques ornementations. Par la suite, cette mélodie a été reprise pour des cantiques, dont en français Confie à Dieu ta route.
How can it be that people who create such a wonderful thing can simultaneously cause so much suffering?
To accept inconsistence is not easy...What have Bach caused by the way ?
yea why have americans been so forward and now are the greatest danger to world peace? explain that to me
Simul justus et peccator
Because people are people.
Bach wrote this... not the Germans..
found in the same work, it very interesting to have in one continuous flow various Bach harmonization of the same (divinely beautiful) old hymn. For budding composers, a great exercise is to harmonize the naked choral and then compare with Bach's. Ouch!!! Here is a good example that explains the attraction Bach has had on jazz musicians. Among many traits, Bach is the Great Re-harmonizer .
Claude Dietrich agreed. they’re all special but that last one is just breathtaking eh? but interesting to hear the shift from major to minor, and the increasing dissonance, and how those significant changes still serve the melody beautifully.
this is absolutely fantastic!
Gorgeous
Harmonic heaven!
Wunderschön!
Celestial Music, sung by Angels,descend from Heaven to Earth! Here we have a startling reversal! A Terrestrial Choir is presenting Celestial Music to Heaven!!! V.W.
Simply...wow. I love it.😎
@volker_böhringer
Ich bin Amerikaner, und das ist die Musik von meiner Vorfahren. Daher, Ich danke Ihnen.
Maravilhoso!
Ein wunderbares Lied !!!
Der Text ist von Luther. Bach hat, wie viele andere Musikstücke, diesen Choral in sein Werk eingebaut. Heute würde man sagen: Plagiat oder geklaut. Damals war man großzügiger. Am meisten hat Bach sich selbst beklaut. Nur so entsteht ein großes vielstimmiges einzigartiges Werk.
Irma P. Im Gesangbuch von Wolgadeutsche ist das Lied "O Haupt,voll Blut und Wunden.." und unten steht geschrieben das Paul Gerhard hat das Lied gedichtet. Schauen Sie an dort N 147 (Wolgagesangbuch)
Molto bello. Bravissimi!
I turned away from the church twenty years ago. I was raised lutherian but lost my trust in religion. God is much more than religion.
Epic Rhodent I am born catholic and haven’t lived 20 years yet but I still agree with this, I think everyone should reach god by themselves
I was born Hindu and raised as a doubtful scientist, but I took classical piano lessons from age eight. For me, Bach's music is pure magic, and it makes me appreciate religion more, in its beautiful expression
I left God and religion 17years ago. Been astray for all those years till my Lord God Jesus Christ called me back again to His side. Listen careful, He is calling you too...
Through the ages, they speak to us.
in this dream of music I feel the closest to the unknown god- father have mercy with me
And this is where Paul Simon got the melody for Bridge Over Troubled Water.
Pauls Simon actually used this melody for American Tune not Bridge Over Troubled Water
eh?!
