Notes

Bach's beloved Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme, is known for its solemn beauty and is often referred to as the first choral prelude. Written for organ, it has been composed by Johann Sebastian Bach and lovingly arranged by Otorino Respighy for a modern music audience. This timeless piece is a beautifully layered statement of faith, representing the Church of the Great Awakening that swept through northern Europe in the 17th century. From the opening of the Passion Choral to its closing codetta, Bach's devotion runs deep as his majestic and undulating organ structures propel the work towards its soaring climax. Whether you have heard this classic before or not, we invite to join us to experience the power of this musical devotion. You are bound to be moved and surprised by its radiant beauty.

Bach: Nun Komm'der Heiden Heiland - from 3 chorales, P. 167: No. 1. Lento assai, BWV 659 - Orchestral interpretation by Ottorino Respighi.

Nun komm, der Heiden Heiland (original: Nu kom der Heyden heyland, English: Savior of the nations, come, literally: Now come, Saviour of the heathen) is a Lutheran chorale of 1524 with words written by Martin Luther, based on Veni redemptor gentium by Ambrose, and a melody, Zahn 1174, based on its plainchant. It was printed in the Erfurt Enchiridion of 1524.

Nun komm, der Heiden Heiland continues to be used in modern settings. It appears in liturgically oriented Christian hymnals, for example the Lutheran Book of Worship, and as the cantus firmus for organ compositions.

The song was the prominent hymn for the first Sunday of Advent for centuries. It was used widely in organ settings by Protestant Baroque composers, most notably Johann Sebastian Bach, who also composed two church cantatas beginning with the hymn. Later settings include works by Ottorino Respighy, Max Reger, Brian Easdale and Siegfried Strohbach.

English versions include Savior of the nations, come by William Morton Reynolds, published in 1851.
