Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750):
ERKENNE MICH, MEIN HÜTER (from BWV 244)
(Acknowledge me, my keeper)

15. movement: Chorale

The St Matthew Passion is the second of two Passion settings by Bach that have survived in their entirety, the first being the St John Passion, first performed in 1724. The St Matthew Passion was probably first performed on 11 April (Good Friday) 1727 in the St. Thomas Church, and again in 1729, 1736, and 1742. Bach then revised it again between 1743 and 1746. It is widely regarded as one of the greatest masterpieces of classical sacred music.

Erkenne mich, mein Hüter,
Mein Hirte, nimm mich an!
Von dir, Quell aller Güter,
Ist mir viel Guts getan.
Dein Mund hat mich gelabet
Mit Milch und süßer Kost,
Dein Geist hat mich begabet
Mit mancher Himmelslust.

(Paul Gerhardt, 1656)

Acknowledge me, my keeper,
My shepherd, make me thine!
From thee, source of all blessings,
Have I been richly blest.
Thy mouth hath oft refreshed me
With milk and sweetest food,
Thy Spirit hath endowed me
With many heav'nly joys.

The Monteverdi Choir (1989)
The English Baroque Soloists
Conducted by John Eliot Gardiner
