Description:

Written in 1727 for a "speech of praise and mourning" for Electress Christiane Eberhardine in Leipzig's university church, the music of the Trauerode is known today primarily through reconstructions of Bach's St. Mark Passion, in which large parts of this cantata were probably reused, but of which only the text has survived. The Trauerode is one of Bach's most fascinating and powerful vocal compositions. Although Gottsched's text is tied to a specific occasion, its literary quality sets it apart positively from many secular cantata texts and should not stand in the way of a performance of this impressive cantata in concert.

Lass, Fürstin, lass noch einen Strahl Let, Princess, let but one more ray
Dein Sachsen, dein bestürztes Meißen Your Saxons, and our saddend Meissen
Verstummt, ihr holden Saiten Be still, you gentle music
Der Glocken bebendes Getön The tolling bells resounding chime
Wie starb die Heldin so vergnügt To die our Lady was content
Ihr Leben ließ die Kunst zu sterben Her living made the art of dying
An dir, du Fürbild großer Frauen In you, the model of great women
Der Ewigkeit saphirnes Haus Eternity's bright sapphire house
Was Wunder ist's? Du bist es wert What wonder this? This you have earned
Dein Torgau geht im Trauerkleide Your Torgau walks about in mourning
Doch, Königin, du stirbest nicht Yet, royal Queen, you shall not die
