In
the Geistliches Lied op.
30 for four-part mixed
choir and organ (or piano
for three to four hands),
Johannes Brahms sets a
text by the Baroque poet
Paul Fleming (1609-1640)
to music. Although the
piece was composed in
April 1856, it only
premiered as late as July
1865 in the church of St.
Jakobi in Chemnitz. This
is probably due to
changes that were
proposed by Joseph
Joachim. In February
1864, Brahms sent it
together with Op. 29 to
Breitkopf & Hartel where
it was published in July
1864. The subtitle in
brackets in the autograph
,,Doppel-Canon in der
None (,,Double canon in
the ninth) was not
printed on it, although
it closely captures the
essence of this
composition of about
three minutes.
