O Heiland Reiss Score

[sophelet]

I have loved this piece ever since I sang it in high school, too. A masterpiece of counterpoint and rich harmonies...

[LLit11]

what does the title mean? in german its kind of non sense, like "O Lord, do! Leiter" why dont you rename it: "Brahms: O Heiland reiß den Himmel auf"

[hbmike47]

O Erd' schlag aus, schlag aus, o Erd'

dass Berg und Thal grun alles werd'

O Erd herfur dies Blumlein bring

o Heiland aus der Erden spring

[hbmike47]

nice performance! all the right notes, well sung and in tune! Brava!

[toneub]

O Heiland, reiß die Himmel auf,

Herab, herab, vom Himmel lauf !

Reiß ab vom Himmel Tor uns Tür,

Reiß ab, wo Schloß und Riegel für !

[sykophantus]

O, Gott ein Tau von himmel gieß

Im Tau herab, o, Heiland fließ;

Ihr Wolken brecht und regnet aus

Dem König über Jakobs Haus.

[Honeykissfire]

I sang this when I was at NC State. I'm glad I can hear it again! ^_^
