Ich lasse dich nicht, du segnest mich denn, BWV 1164
Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750)
Ich lasse dich nicht, du segnest mich denn, mein Jesu, ich lasse dich nicht, du segnest mich denn!
Weil du mein Gott und Vater bist, dein Kind wirst du verlassen nicht, du väterliches Herz!
Ich bin ein armer Erdenkloss, auf Erden weiss ich keinen Trost.
Selections from The Fountains of Israel
Johann Hermann Schein (1586-1630)
O Herr, ich bin dein Knecht
O Herr, ich bin dein Knecht, deiner Magd Sohn.
Du hast meine Bande zerrissen. Dir will ich Dank opfern;
und des Herren Namen predigen.
Da Jakob vollendet hatte
Da Jakob vollendet hatte die Gebot an seine Kinder, tät er seine Füsse zusammen aufs Bette und verschied und ward versammelt zu seinem Volk,
Da fiel Joseph auf seines Vaters Angesicht und weinet über ihn und küsset ihn.
Die mit Tränen säen
Die mit Tränen säen, werden mit Freuden ernten.
Sie gehen hin und weinen und tragen edlen Samen und kommen mit Freuden und bringen ihre Garben.
I will not let you go, until you bless me, My Jesus, I will not let you go, until you bless me!
Since you are my God and father, You will not abandon your child, You who have a father’s heart!
I am a poor clod of earth, On earth, I know no consolation.
O Lord, truly I am Your servant; and the son of Your handmaid: You have freed me from my chains. I will offer to You the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call on the name of the Lord.
When Jacob had finished his charge to his sons,
he drew up his feet into the bed, And breathed his last, and was gathered to his people.
Then Joseph fell on his father’s face, and wept over him and kissed him.
Those who sow in tears will reap in joy.
He who goes forth bearing seed and weeping shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.

Mit Weinen hebt sich’s an Johann Christoph Bach (1642-1703)
Mit Weinen hebt sich’s an, dies jammervolle Leben, es muss das kleinste Kind der bittern Tränen Schar sich weinend untergeben, eh’ es sich noch besinnt. Wenn’s kaum geboren ist, so höret man doch schon, dass sich bei ihm erhebt der schmerzenvolle Ton.
Das Mittel unsrer Zeit ist überschwemmt mit Sorgen, wir sind des Glückes Spiel. Der weinet durch die Nacht bis an den lieben Morgen, und hilft ihm doch nicht viel. Der Furcht und Hoffnungs streit zerquälet unsern Sinn und nimmt, eh man es denkt, die besten Jahre hin.
Das Alter kömmt herbei, die kummervollen Jahre, die uns gefallen nicht, und führen uns den Weg zur trüben Totenbahre.
Wann dieses dann geschieht, so ist es aus mit uns; der tränenvolle Lauf hat nun das Ziel erreicht und hört mit Weinen auf.
It begins with weeping, this wretched life; the smallest child must submit, weeping, to the host of bitter tears before he is yet aware. He is scarcely born, but already is heard the anguished sound rising from him.
The mid-time of our life overflows with tribulation, we are the playthings of fate. He who weeps all night until the welcome morning finds little relief. The struggle of fear and hope torments our minds, and takes from us, before we know it, our best years.
Old age approaches, the sorrowful years, that hold no pleasure, and lead our way to the dismal funeral bier.
When this comes to pass, then it is ended for us; the tear-filled course has attained its goal, and ends its weeping.

Der Mensch, vom Weibe geboren J.C. Bach
Der Mensch, vom Weibe geboren, lebt kurze Zeit und ist voller Unruhe. Er gehet auf wie eine Blume und fällt ab; fleucht wie ein Schatten und bleibet nicht.
Ach wie nichtig, ach wie flüchtig ist das Leben, so dem Menschen wird gegeben.
Kaum, wenn er zur Welt geboren, ist er schon zum Tod erkoren.
Seiner Tage, aller Plage muss man sehen wie ein schneller Wind vergehen.
Kaum, wenn er zur Welt geboren, ist er schon zum Tod erkoren.
Menschenkinder, weil sie Sünder, gehn zugrunde in der unvermeinten Stunde.
Kaum, wenn er zur Welt geboren, ist er schon zum Tod erkoren.
Wie die Nelken bald verwelken und verderben, so muss auch der Mensch hinsterben.
Kaum, wenn er zur Welt geboren, ist er schon zum Tod erkoren.
Menschenleben, das fleucht eben wie ein Schatten, den wir an der Seite hatten.
Kaum, wenn er zur Welt geboren, ist er schon zum Tod erkoren.
Man, born of woman, Lives for a short time, and is full of strife, He rises like a flower and withers away, Flees like a shadow and does not persist.
Ah, how tenuous, ah, how fleeting is life, Such has been given to mankind.
When hardly born into the world, He has already been selected for death.
All of his days, tribulations he must endure, Like straining against a stiff wind.
When hardly born into the world, He has already been selected for death.
Children of men, because they are sinners, go to the bottom
At that inconceivable hour.
When hardly born into the world, He has already been selected for death.
As carnations quickly wither and decay, So Man also must die.
When hardly born into the world, He has already been selected for death.
The life of Man flees away like a shadow
That we have at our side.
When hardly born into the world, He has already been selected for death.

Herr, nun lässest du deinen Diener in Friede fahren
J.C. Bach
Herr, nun lässest du deinen Diener in Friede fahren
wie du gesaget hat: Denn meine Augen haben deinen Heiland gesehen, welchen du bereitet hast für allen Völkern. Ein Licht, zu erleuchten die Heiden, und zum Preis deines Volks Israel.
Lord, now let your servant depart in peace according to your word. For mine eyes have seen: your salvation, Which you have prepared before the face of all people; To be a light to illuminate the Gentiles: and to be the glory of your people Israel.
Lieber Herr Gott, wecke uns auf
J.C. Bach
Lieber Herr Gott, wecke uns auf, dass wir bereit seyn wenn dein Sohn kömmt, ihn mit Freuden zu empfahen und dir mit reinen Herzen zu dienen durch denselbigen deinen lieben Sohn, Jesum Christum unsern Herren. Amen.
Dear Lord God, wake us up, so that we are ready, when your Son comes, to receive him with joy and to serve you with a pure heart, by the same, thy beloved Son Jesus Christ, our Lord, Amen.

Selections from The Fountains of Israel
Schein
Zion spricht: Der Herr hat mich verlassen
Zion spricht: “Der Herr hat mich verlassen, der Herr hat mein vergessen.”
Kann auch ein Weib ihres Kindeleins vergessen, dass
sie sich nicht erbarme über den Sohn ihres Leibes?
Und ob sie desselbigen vergesse, so will ich doch dein nicht vergessen.
Siehe, in die Hände hab’ ich dich gezeichnet.
Der Herr denket an uns und segnet uns
Der Herr denket an uns und segnet uns;
er segnet das Haus Israel, er segnet das Haus Aaron; er segnet, die den Herren fürchten, beide Kleine und Grosse.
Der Herre segne euch, je mehr und mehr, euch und eure Kinder.
Ihr seid die Gesegneten des Herren, der Himmel und Erde gemacht hat.
Ich freue mich im Herren
Ich freue mich im Herren, und meine Seele ist fröhlich in meinem Gott, denn er hat mich angezogen mit den Kleidern des Heiles und mit dem Rock der Gerechtigkeit gekleidet.
Wie einen Bräutigam mit priesterlichem Schmuck gezieret und wie eine Braut in ihrem Geschmeide bärdet.
But Zion said: “The Lord hath forsaken me, and the Lord hath forgotten me.”
Can a woman forget her child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb?
Yet even as she may forget, so will not I forget you.
Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of My hands.
The Lord hath been mindful of us, and he shall bless us:
even he shall bless the house of Israel, he shall bless the house of Aaron, he shall bless them that fear the Lord, both small and great.
The Lord shall increase you more and more, you and your children.
You are the blessed of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
I delight greatly in the Lord; my soul rejoices in my God.
For He has clothed me with garments of salvation and arrayed me in a robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom adorns his head like a priest, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.

Es ist nun aus mit meinem Leben
J.C. Bach
Es ist nun aus mit meinem Leben, Gott nimmt es hin, der es gegeben, Kein Tröpflein mehr ist in dem Fass, es will kein Fünklein mehr verfangen, das Lebens Licht ist ausgegangen, Kein Körnlein läuft mehr in dem Glas.
Est ist nun aus, es ist vollbracht, Welt, gute Nacht! Welt, gute Nacht!
Komm, Todestag, du Lebenssonne, du bringest mir mehr Lust und Wonne, als mein Geburtstag bringen kann, du machst ein Ende meinem Leiden, dass sich schon mit den Kindtauffreuden von jenen hat gefangen an. Nun ist es aus, es ist vollbracht, Welt, gute Nacht! Welt, gute Nacht!
Welt, gute Nacht! behalt das Deine und lass mir Jesum als das Meine, denn ich lass meinen Jesum nicht! Behut euch Gott, ihr meine Lieben, lasst meinen Tod euch nicht betrüben, durch welchen mir so wohl geschicht Mein Leid ist aus, es ist vollbracht, welt, gute Nacht! Welt, gute Nacht!
Was wollet ihr euch nach mir sehnen?
Ei stillet, stillet eure Tränen, weil meine schon gestillet sind, Mir wischt sie Jesus von den Aigen, Was sollen denn die euren taugen, Und lachet mit mir als ein Kind.
Was Jesus macht, ist wohl gemacht! Welt, gute Nacht! Welt, gute Nacht!
Now my life is ended, God who gave it, has taken it back. Not one drop remains in the barrel, Not one single spark will catch:
Life’s light is extinguished.
Not the least grain of sand remains in the hourglass.
It is done, all is accomplished, world, good night!
Come, day of death, o sun of life, you bring me more joy and bliss than the day of my birth ever did, for you put an end to my suffering, which before the joys of christening, had already begun. It is done, all is accomplished, world, good night!
World, good night! Take what is yours, and leave me Jesus to be mine, for I will not abandon my Jesus! May God protect you, my dear ones, let my death not grieve you, since it has brought me such happiness; my suffering is ended, all is accomplished, world, good night!
Why would you grieve for me?
Ah, dry your tears, for mine are dried already; Jesus wipes them from my eyes. What use then should yours be? Laugh with me like a child. That which Jesus does is well done! World, good night!

Mid-Century Modern JAMES K. BASS, CONDUCTOR
Furniture or architecture might come to mind when one hears the phrase mid-century modern, but the creative style also impacted the music of the time. Inspired by rapid technological advancements and a post-war world, artists in the mid-20th century strove to predict and create the art of the future. You’ll likely discover a mid-century work you’ve never heard before on this program for a cappella chorus.
