Liebster Gott, Wenn Werd Ich Sterben
"Liebster Gott, wann werd ich sterben" ("Dearest God, when will I die") is a Lutheran hymn which Caspar Neumann, an evangelical theologian from Breslau, wrote around 1690. The topic of the hymn, which has five stanzas of eight lines, is a reflection on death. An elaborate analysis of the hymn's content was published in 1749. A few text variants of the hymn originated in the 18th century. Neumann's text is usually sung to the hymn tune of " Freu dich sehr o meine Seele". Daniel Vetter, a native of Breslau, set the hymn in the first half of the 1690s, and published this setting in a version for SATB singers in 1713. This setting was picked up by Johann Sebastian Bach, who based some of his compositions on it. His chorale cantata based on Neumann's hymn, ''Liebster Gott, wenn werd ich sterben'', BWV 8, was first performed in Leipzig in 1724, Vetter's hymn tune, Zahn No. 6634, appearing in its outer movements. The closing chorale of BWV 8 is a reworked version of V ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Hymn Metre
A hymn metre (''US:'' meter) indicates the number of syllables for the lines in each stanza of a hymn. This provides a means of marrying the hymn's text with an appropriate hymn tune for singing. Hymn and poetic metre In the English language poetic metres and hymn metres have different starting points but there is nevertheless much overlap. The hymn ''Amazing Grace'' is used as an example: :Amazing grace, how sweet the sound :that saved a wretch like me. :I once was lost, but now am found, :was blind, but now I see. Analyzing this, a poet would see couplets with four iambic metrical feet in the first and third lines, and three in the second and fourth. A musician would more likely count eight syllables in the first line and six in the second. This would be described as 8.6.8.6 (or 86.86). The words of ''Amazing Grace'' can therefore be set to any tune that has the 8.6.8.6 metre, for example ''The House of the Rising Sun''. Conventionally most hymns in this 86.86 pattern are iam ...
