📹 Bach - Motet Komm, Jesu, komm... BWV 229 - MacLeod | Netherlands Bach Society

Motet ’Komm, Jesu, komm, mein Leib ist müde’, performed by the Netherlands Bach Society for All of Bach, used to be known amongst singers from Leipzig as ‘Der saure Weg’, after the most difficult phrase in the piece. The path to its origin is a straighter one, as although we still do not know precisely for whom Bach wrote this piece, it is anyway clear that he composed it himself. Moreover, we can presume that it is a funeral or memorial motet. Recorded for the project All of Bach on May 14th 2016 at the Grote Kerk, Naarden.
