Brockes-Passion by Georg Philipp Telemann — Lyrics
Evangelista:
Dies war zur neunten Stund'. Und bald hernach rief Jesus laut und sprach:
Eli! Eli! Lama Asaphtani!
Evangelista:
Das ist, in unsrer Sprach' zu fassen:
Mein Gott, wie hast du mich verlassen!
Darnach, wie ihm bewusst, daß alles schon vorbei, rief er mit lechzendem Geschrei:
Jesus:
Mich dürstet!
Glaübige Seele:
Mein Heiland, mein Heiland, Herr und Fürst!
Da Peitsch' und Ruten dich zerfleischen,
da Dorn und Nagel dich durchbohrt
sagst du ja nicht ein einzig Wort.
Jetzt hört man dich zu trinken heischen,
so wie ein Hirsch nach Wasser schreit.
Wonach mag wohl den Himmelsfürsten,
des Lebens Wasser Quelle, dürsten?
Nach unsrer Seelen Seligkeit.
Evangelista:

About Brockes-Passion
Telemann's Brockes-Passion is a monumental sacred oratorio for solo voices and orchestra, setting a German text by Barthold Heinrich Brockes. This excerpt focuses on the final moments of Christ's crucifixion. The musical setting opens with the Evangelist recounting the events, followed by Jesus's cry of "Eli, Eli, lama asaphtani!" The text then shifts to the "Glaübige Seele" (Believing Soul), who reflects on the Savior's suffering and thirst, interpreting it as a thirst for human salvation. The solo parts for tenor, alto, and bass are demanding, requiring expressive declamation to convey the dramatic narrative and theological weight of the text. This work offers a profound musical meditation on the Passion story.
