Göttlichs Kind, lass mit Entzücken dich doch an mein Herze drücken,
deine Schönheit nimmt mich ein.
Stern aus Jakob, lass dein Glänzen auf des Glaubens engen Grenzen
meinen holden Leitstern sein.
Ach welcher holde Ton ergötzet Herz und Ohren!
Was hat wohl lieblicher geklungen
als dieser helle Ruf aus einer Engelszungen?
Ich muss, ach süsse Seelenweide,
Ich muss euch grosse Freude jetzt offenbaren,
die euch und allem Volke soll widerfahren.
Steige, falle, zirkle, walle
vor heiligen Freuden du christliches Blut!
Heute besingen gar himmlische Chöre
dir zur Lust und Gott zur Ehre
dein sichtbar erschienenes ewiges Gut.
English
Holy child, let me with delight
hold you close to my heart,
for your beauty captivates me.
Star of Jacob, may your brightness
on the narrow path of belief
be my blessed guiding star.
Oh, what a blessed sound enchants both heart and hearing!
What now or ever sounds with such sweet ringing,
as this exultant call we hear angels singing?
I must, o my spirits treasure. I must declare the pleasure,
that now I bring you, wich shall be to all people and dwell among you.
Rising, falling, circling, swelling,
with holy rejoycing now sing,
oh christianity.
Today holy Angels, sing the story
for your joy and for goods glory,
for now is revealed never ending delight.

[@robertbeddow6155]

Astonishing - I wonder when Herr Zimmerman will delight us with some CD recordings?

[@ddn784]

Thank you.

Stupendous, just wonderfully presented. Thank you.

Excellent performance!

[@thomasmaur288]

Vielen Dank, für dieses wunderschöne musikalisches Geschenk zum Drei Königsfest.
On historical perspective, this performance sounds very convincing!
This is the best praise you can give today to musicians who deals with old music - executed on historical instruments.
Because, nobody really knows how our ancestors performed their music, and that's a good thing because we are children of our time.

[@allwinds3786]

Is this the organ you we talking about a few months ago?

[@naturaltrumpet84]

yes

[@allwinds3786]

@@naturaltrumpet84 nice work by all!

[@allwinds3786]

Apon rehearing this months later I find the tone much more warm than I remember when first heard.

[@awreckingball]

Very beautiful. But I wonder why 'period' performances are always unhistoric in the use of the human voice, using females instead of boys.

[@naturaltrumpet84]

Thank you very much!
I understand your critisism and I try to get as near as possible to the sound the creators of our performed music would have expected.
Interestingly enough, women were actually employed in church music in Hamburg in the early 18th century. It is documented that Mattheson, for example, used well-known female singers from the opera in his church works.
