Brockes-Passion by Reinhard Keiser — Lyrics

Mich vom Stricke meiner Sünden zu entbinden, wird mein Gott gebunden. Es muß, meiner Sünden lecken zu bedecken, eig'nes Blut ihn färben. Ja, es will, ein ewig Leben mir zu geben, selbst das Leben sterben. Evangelista: Als Jesu nun zu Tische saße, und er das Osterlamm, das Bild von seinem Tod, mit seinem Jüngern aße, nahm er das Brot, und wie er es, dem Höchsten dankend, brach, gab er es ihnen hin und sprach: Jesus Das ist mein Leib, kommt, nehmet, esset, damit ihr meiner nicht vergesset.

About Brockes-Passion

Reinhard Keiser’s Brockes-Passion is a powerful oratorio for Lenten devotion. Set in German, this sacred work is particularly suited for performance during the Lenten season. The text offers profound reflections on Christ’s sacrifice, emphasizing the redemption of sins through his suffering and death. The excerpts provided show a dramatic unfolding of the narrative, moving from the Evangelist’s account of the Last Supper to Jesus’ institution of the Eucharist, and concluding with a devotional reflection on the divine presence within the bread and wine. The SATB voicing allows for rich harmonic textures to underscore the deeply spiritual and emotional content of this significant oratorio.
