9. Gute Nacht, O Wesen
Possibly for the Funeral of Johanna Maria Kees, née Rappold.
Johann Franck, the six verses of the hymn, 1650 (Fischer-Tümpel, IV, #103); Rom. 8:1 and 4, 2, 9, 10, 11.
18 July 1723, Leipzig.
Text:
[Verse 5] (S1, S2, A, T)
Now good night, O creature
Which the world doth favor,
Thou dost please me not.
Now good night, corruption,
Get thee far behind me,
Come no more to light!
Now good night, thou pomp and pride!
Once for all, thou wicked life here,
Now "Good night" I bid thee.

  • The first phrase always seem lost for me... it doesn't make sense to repeat it twice exactly the same way... couldn't it be an error of transcription, from the scrivener? I always get that feeling...

    Great performance, anyway!

  • I really want to put this movement on my recital. :) It's so beautiful, and this performance of it is outstanding!

  • the most wonderful part of all the motet!

  • Bonne nuit O Nature (Jesus, Ma Joie)

    Musique divine de Bach

  • I love it!!!
