about

In 1601, Hans Leo Haßler first published his love song “Mein G’müt ist mir verwirret” (My Mind Has Been Confused). In 1656, the most prominent Protestant song writer of the time, Paul Gerhardt, translated the Latin hymn “Salve caput cruentatum” – written probably by Arnulf von Löwen (1200–1250) – into German and set it to a rhythmically simplified version of Haßler’s love song, creating one of the best known chorals of the Lutheran church: “O Haupt voll Blut und Wunden” (O Sacred Head, Now Wounded), which has been most prominently used by J.S. Bach in his St. Matthew Passion. I went back to Haßler’s original version and here is my interpretation.
