11 Chorales from the St. Matthew Passion
Author(s): Johann Sebastian Bach
Easter: Above all, When I Survey The Wondrous Cross is a contemplative song. Of course theres the obvious beauty of this hymn, which thanks to the increasingly broad arrangement, paves a way to a moment of surrender at the foot of the cross. But most of all, there is a sense of the cost of the cross. When we fix our eyes on the scope of the sacrifice, we experience a deeper gratitude for what it offers us. A song that fits well with Eucharist. Isaac Watts originally wrote it preparing for just such an occasion. His lyrics and paired here with Hal Hopson's tune Gift Of Love. And thanks to its versatility (it can be performed both a cappella and with piano) it never loses its power.
