Description:
The cantata Nun lasst uns Gott, den Herren (BuxWV 81) is based on a chorale text by Ludwig Helmbold of 1575. Buxtehude set the eight verses of the chorale, which Helmbold conceived as a song of thanks after a meal, in the form of a strophic hymn with instrumental interludes. His sensitive approach to the textual model emphasizes inner details of the hymn, the content of which extends far beyond a mere musical grace.
