Ajoutée par magataganm, 26 Mar 2018 The Neumeister Collection is a compilation of 82 chorale preludes found in a manuscript copy produced by Johann Gottfried Neumeister (1757–1840). When the manuscript was rediscovered at the Yale University in the 1980s it appeared to contain 31 previously unknown early chorale settings by Johann Sebastian Bach, which were added to the BWV catalogue as Nos. 1090–1120 and published in 1985. This chorale prelude is among the 38 attributed to Bach that were discovered along with 44 others by various composers, including other Bach family members, when organist/musicologist Christoph Wolff unearthed the Neumeister Collection at the Yale Library in 1985. This particular chorale prelude, "Herzlich lieb hab ich dich, O Herr," poses problems in translation, but can be read as Dearly I Love Thee, O Lord, though it most often appears as the less literal Lord, Thee I Love With All My Heart. In any event, the work is a joyful, quite attractive piece, about twice the length of the approximately two-minute duration of most of the other Neumeister chorale preludes. Bach gives the chorale theme a variations treatment here, the melody appearing in a jaunty, sprightly guise in the opening and then turning a bit more serious thereafter while retaining its radiant glow, as the composer's contrapuntal writing both enlivens and deepens the expressive character of the piece. About midway through, the music takes on a vigorous manner, shedding its sense of fluency as long stretches of unaccompanied chordal passages proclaim their glorious music in an almost ecstatic manner.
