About This Song
About "Matthäus-Passion, BWV 244, Pt. 1 : J.S. Bach: Matthäus-Passion, BWV 244, Pt. 1: No. 20, Aria. Ich will bei meinem Jesu wachen (Tenor, Chorus II)" by Chor Der Deutschen Oper Berlin
Bach's aria from the St. Matthew Passion, rendered with operatic gravity. The tenor's plea—'I will watch with my Jesus'—floats over a restless, weaving chorus. It's Baroque devotion as emotional tightrope: serene strings masking a trembling, human fear.
