Bach - Valet will ich dir geben BWV 736 - Zerer | Netherlands Bach Society

’Valet will ich dir geben’ is a ‘Sterbelied’, inspired by heartrending events. The lyricist Valerius Herberger was a clergyman in his hometown, the German Protestant enclave of Fraustadt, in Silesia, Poland, where there was an outbreak of the plague in 1613. Bach must have been particularly moved by the hymn on which this chorale arrangement is based. Recorded for the project All of Bach on 21st October 2014 at St. Catherine’s Church, Hamburg.
