“Himmelskonig, sei willkommen” Cantata BWV 182 (Cantata for Palm Sunday) 1. Sonata

1. Sonata

2. Chor Himmelskönig, sei willkommen, Laß auch uns dein Zion sein! Komm herein, Du hast uns das Herz genommen.

2. Chorus King of Heaven, welcome, Let us also be your Zion! Come within, You have taken our hearts from us.

3. Rezitativ B Siehe, ich komme, im Buch ist von mir geschrieben; deinen Willen, mein Gott, tu ist gerne.

3. Recitative B Behold, I come, in the Book it is written of me; Your will, my God, I do gladly.

4. Arie B Starkes Lieben, Das dich, großer Gottessohn, Von dem Thron Deiner Herrlichkeit getrieben, Daß du dich zum Heil der Welt Als ein Opfer vorgestellt, Daß du dich mit Blut verschrieben.

4. Aria B Powerful love, great Son of God, which has driven You from the throne of Your glory, so that You, for the salvation of the world, might be offered as a sacrifice, which You have authorized with Your blood.

5. Arie A Leget euch dem Heiland unter, Herzen, die ihr christlich seid! Tragt ein unbefleckes Kleid Eures Glaubens ihm entgegen, Leib und Leben und Vermögen Sei dem König itzt geweiht.

5. Aria A Lay yourselves beneath the Savior, hearts that are Christian! Wear the spotless garment of your faith before Him, your body, your life, and your desires should now be consecrated to the King.

6. Arie T Jesu, laß durch Wohl und Weh Mich auch mit dir ziehen! Schreit die Welt nur “Kreuzige!”, So laß mich nicht fliehen, Herr, von deinem Kreuzpanier; Kron und Palmen find ich hier.

6. Aria T Jesus, through good and bad times let me journey also with You! Though the world scream only “Crucify!”, let me not run away, Lord, from Your cross’ standard; I will find crown and palm here.

7. Choral Jesu, deine Passion Ist mir lauter Freude, Deine Wunden, Kron, und Hohn Meines Herzens Weide. Meine Seel auf Rosen geht, Wenn ich dran gedenke, In dem Himmel eine Stätt Mir deswegen schenke! (“Jesu Leiden, Pein und Tod,” verse 33)

7. Chorale Jesus, Your passion is pure joy to me, Your wounds, thorns and shame my heart’s pasture; my soul walks on roses when I think upon it; grant a place in heaven for me for its sake.

8. Chor So lasset uns gehen in Salem der Freuden, Begleitet den König in Lieben und Leiden. Er gehet voran Und öffnet die Bahn.

8. Chorus Then let us go into the Salem of joy, accompanying the King in love and sorrow. He goes before and opens the path.

Messa di Requiem 1. Requiem Requiem æternam dona eis, Domine, et lux perpetua luceat eis. Te decet hymnus Deus, in Sion, et tibi reddetur votum in Ierusalem Exaudi orationem meam; ad te omnis caro veniet. Requiem æternam dona eis, Domine, et lux perpetua luceat eis.

Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. A hymn becomes You, O God, in Zion and to You shall a vow be repaid in Jerusalem Hear my prayer; to You shall all flesh come. Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them.

Kyrie, eleison. Christe, eleison. Kyrie, eleison.

Lord, have mercy. Christ, have mercy. Lord, have mercy.

2. Dies irae Dies irae, dies illa, solvet saeclum in favilla: teste David cum Sibylla. Quantus tremor est futurus, Quando judex est venturus, Cuncta stricte discussurus! Tuba mirum spargens sonum per sepulcra regionum, Coget omnes ante thronum. Mors stupebit et natura Cum resurget creatura Judicanti responsura. Liber scriptus proferetur In quo totum continetur Unde mundus judicetur. Judex ergo cum sedebit, Quidquid latet apparebit; Nil inultum remanebit. Quid sum miser tunc dicturus? Quem patronum rogaturus? Cum vix justus sit securus. Rex tremendae majestatis Qui salvandos salvas gratis, Salva me, fons pietatis. Recordare, Jesu pie Quod sum causa tuae viae: Ne me perdas illa die. Quaerens me sedisti lassus: redemisti crucem passus: tantus labor non sit cassus. Juste judex ultionis donum fac remissionis ante diem rationis. Ingemisco, tamquam reus: culpa rubet vultus meus: supplicanti parce Deus. Qui Mariam absolvisti Et latronem exaudisti, Mihi quoque spem dedisti. Preces meae non sunt dignae: Sed tu, bonus, fac benigne,

Day of wrath, day that will dissolve the world into burning coals as David bore witness with the Sibyll. How great a tremor is to be when the judge is to come briskly shattering every grave. A trumpet sounding an astonishing sound though the tombs of the region drives all mankind before the throne. Death will be stunned as will Nature, when arises the creature (man) responding to the One judging. The written book will be brought forth in which the whole record of evidence is contained By which the world is to be judged. Therefore when the Judge shall sit, whatever lay hidden will appear; nothing unavenged will remain. What am I the wretch then to say? what patron I to beseech? when scarcely the just man be secure. King of tremendous Majesty who saves those-to-be-saved free, save me, fount of piety Remember, faithful Jesus, because I am the cause of your journey: do not lose me on that day. Thou has sat down as one wearied seeking me, Thou has redeemed me, having suffered the Cross: so much labor let it not be lost. Just judge of the avenging-punishment, work the gift of the remission (of sins) before the Day of the Reckoning. I groan, as the accused: my face grows red from my guilt: spare this supplicant, O God. Those who forgave Mary and favorably heard the good thief, hast also given me hope. My prayers are not worthy: but do Thou, good Lord, deal kindly

Ne perenni cremer igne. Inter oves locum praesta, Et ab haedis me sequestra, Statuens in parte dextra. Confutatis maledictis, Flammis acribus addictis: Voca me cum benedictis. Oro supplex et acclinis, Cor contritum quasi cinis: Gere curam mei finis. Lacrimosa dies illa, Qua resurget ex favilla Judicandus homo reus: Huic ergo parce, Deus. Pie Jesu Domine, dona eis requiem. Amen.

lest I burn in perennial fire. Among the sheep offer me a place, and from the goats sequester me, placing me at Thy right hand. After the accursed have been silenced, given up to the bitter flames, call me with the blest. Kneeling and bowed down I pray, My heart contrite as ashes: Do Thou care for my end. That sorroful day, on which will arise from the burning coals Man accused to be judged: therefore, O God, do Thou spare him. Faithful Lord Jesus, grant them rest. Amen.

3. Sanctus Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus Dominus Deus Sabaoth: Pleni sunt caeli et terra gloria tua. Hosanna in excelsis. Benedictus qui venit in nomine Domini: Hosanna in excelsis.

Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of power and might; Heaven and earth are full of Your glory. Hosanna in the highest. Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest.

4. Agnus Dei Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi, dona eis requiem, Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi, dona eis requiem sempiternam.

Lamb of God, You take away the sins of the world; grant them rest, Lamb of God, You take away the sins of the world; grant them rest eternal.

5. Libera me Libera me, Domine, de morte æterna in die illa tremenda, quando coeli movendi sunt et terra, dum veneris iudicare sæculum per ignem. Tremens factus sum ego et timeo, dum discussio venerit atque ventura ira. Dies illa, dies iræ, calamitatis, et miseriæ, dies magna et amara valde. Requiem æternam dona eis, Domine, et lux perpetua luceat eis.

Deliver me, O Lord, from eternal death on that fearful day, when the heavens and the earth are moved, when You come to judge the world with fire. I am made to tremble and I fear, because of the judgment that will come, and also the coming wrath. That day, day of wrath, calamity, and misery, day of great and exceeding bitterness. Grant them eternal rest, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them.
