Herzliebster Jesu- Johannes Brahms; v1.2: Pictures AND Text

From the Opus 122 Eleven Chorale Preludes. The pictures are from Bethany Lutheran Church and Alexanderwohl Mennonite Church cemetery. I used these pictures because of the somber nature of the text: (English)
"Ah, Jesus dear, what precept hast Thou broken, that such a cruel judgment has been spoken? Of what misdeed hast Thou to make confession? of what transgression?"
I hope that the pictures invoke not only the sheer depth of emotion of the piece but also the deep feeling of debt to Christ for His sacrifice; a sacrifice that grants us eternal life. (the oxymoron of the cemetery pictures.)

That was BEAUTIFUL! The text also added an extra dimension. I think it's an interesting concept in itself to add descriptive text (other than "look, I'm playing a D#dim9+11-13 chord") in video recordings of instrumental music.

Ha! Thank you so much for your descriptive comment! That was very kind of you. ^_^

Very good tempo.

There is resignation and a feeling of awe.
