Funeral motet
John Eliot Gardiner; English Baroque Soloists, Monteverdi Choir
Herr Jesu Christ, meins Lebens Licht,
mein Hort, mein Trost, mein Zuversicht,
auf Erden bin ich nur ein Gast
und drückt mich sehr der Sünden Last.
Auf deinen Abschied, Herr, ich trau,
Darauf meine letzte Heimfahrt bau,
Tu mir die Himmelstür weit auf,
Wenn ich beschließ meins Lebens Lauf.
Perfect performance.Thanks for sharing.

This is the perfect tempo.

the original version is for brass, as you can see on the score (cornetto, horn, posaune etc) It is even more moving than the string version (we sung it with my choir with an orchestra with period instruments). Does anyone know if there is a recording available?

It's worth dying to just have this at your funeral.
