This timeless melody by Hans Leo Hassler (1564-1612) is now chiefly remembered because of its inclusion in J S Bach?s St.Matthew Passion(hence its title),where it is treated to a variety of rich harmonisations.This setting features alto and tenor saxophones, who first play a lyrical descant to the famous hymn tune and then the melody itself,against a Bach-like obbligato in the upper woodwinds.This fabulous new arrangement presents a wonderful opportunity to feature your saxophones.
