  • 1 Aria

    My life is fulfilled!
    My Jesus, my Saviour, the promised Messiah,
    the hope of all godly has come now:
    Hosanna!
    My eyes have seen Christ;
    in his holy presence
    my life is set free.
    I hold him today with rejoicing
    and seek my departing.
    My life is fulfilled!

    2 Recitativo

    My life is fulfilled!
    My Jesus is my own,
    as I am his alone,
    his comfort he has shown.
    My Lord, I trust through faith,
    like Simeon I now see here;
    the joy from heaven comes so near.
    So follow now this men and praise!

  • 1 Aria

    Ich habe genung,
    ich habe den Heiland, das Hoffen der Frommen,
    auf meine begierigen Arme genommen:
    Ich habe genung.
    Ich habe ihn erblickt,
    mein Glaube hat Jesum ans Herze gedrückt;
    Nun wünsch ich, noch heute mit Freuden
    von hinnen zu scheiden:
    Ich habe genung!

    2 Recitativo (Basso)

    Ich habe genung!
    Mein Trost ist nur allein,
    dass Jesus mein und ich sein eigen möchte sein.
    Im Glauben halt ich ihn,
    da seh ich auch mit Simeon,
    die Freude jenes Lebens schon.
    Lasst uns mit diesem Manne ziehn!
    Ach, möchte mich von meines Leibes Ketten
    der Herr erretten;

  • Johann Sebastian Bach is one of the most important composers of Western music history. He came from a widely ramified musical dynasty, which produced numerous musicians and organists in the Thuringian-Saxon area.

    Bach vocal

    Ever since Carus-Verlag was founded in 1972, publishing the music of Johann Sebastian Bach has been a special focus for us. In the 2017 Reformation anniversary year we completed the Bach vocal project. Bach's complete sacred vocal works are now available in modern Urtext editions, together with performance material. A complete edition of all the full scores is also available in a high quality box set. Personal details
  • Paul Horn war ein deutscher Kirchenmusiker, Organist, Komponist und Musikwissenschaftler. Er studierte Kirchenmusik und Orgel an der Evangelischen Kirchenmusikschule Esslingen am Neckar bei Hans-Arnold Metzger und Musikwissenschaft, Theologie und Geschichte an der Universität Tübingen. Seine berufliche Laufbahn begann als Kantor an der Evangelischen Michaelskirche in Stuttgart-Degerloch. 1954 wurde er Kantor an der Evangelischen Stadtkirche Ravensburg, eine Position, die er bis zu seiner Pensionierung innehatte. Als Musikwissenschaftler arbeitete Horn bis ins hohe Alter eng mit Carus zusammen. So stammen zahlreiche Carus-Klavierauszüge aus seiner Feder. Personal details

Reviews

Ulrich Leisinger hat mit der vorliegenden Ausgabe eine gründliche wissenschaftliche Aufarbeitung ds Notentextes dieser Kantate aus den Originalbeständen vorgenommen [...]. Dieser Fassung der Bach-Kantate gebührt eine der höher liegenden Sopran-Fassung ebenbürtige Aufmerksamkeit, sie sollte in Überlegungen zur Planung der Aufführung des Werkes unbedingt mit einbezogen werden.
Württembergische Blätter für Kirchenmusik, Nr 6/2012
