look, i consider myself an atheist. i think i know too much about science to be REALLY convinced that there is a god who knows us and love us. but this song makes me teary whenever i hear it.
-
Well I mean the most important thing is that Jesus died for our sins.

Bach borrowed the tune from Hans Leo Hassler (1564-1612). It's from his 1601 'Lustgarten, Deutsche Lieder zu vier, fuenf, sechs und acht Stimmen' (Pleasure Garden, German Songs for 4,5,6 & 8 voices) & appears there as a rueful little lovesong of at least 3 verses called 'Mein G'mueth ist mir verwirret' (My mind is confused).

The English version of this is O Sacred Head Now Wounded.

@entertainerthe Agreed, except this isn't an aria. for clarification's sake
-
I've read several comments saying that Paul Simon used this melody for "American Tune" (true) but that the actual composer was Bach, which is untrue. What we are hearing is an arrangement by Bach, of a song actually written by Hans Leo Hassler, called "Mein g'mut ist mir verwirret": a love song, not a sacred piece. Hassler died 73 years before Bach was born. If this was clarified earlier, my apologies for mentioning it again. I didn't come across it.

@cavealieniv Exactly, and when it does convey meaning, meaning is often found between the words, and in the silence that follows when words have ended.

one of my favorites

Language isn't necessary for there to be meaning.

@olympoBR I would like to inform you that what he did Paul Simon was not at all a plagio but a conscious choice to revive this beautiful melody and make it come alive with beautiful words ... he has repeatedly said that he was inspired by the music of Bach, I do not think this is the attitude of those who want to copy a song without giving something more to the listener ... and American Tune is a wonderful piece, do not you think?

Was ist das für eine Einspielung? Der Chor sing gar keine ganzen Bögen sondern setzt von Takt zu Takt 'Elephantenfüsse' . Ich weiss echt nicht was so ein Chorleiter für eine musikalische Empfindung hat, vieleicht so was in der Art von Schunkellieder-Romantik.
