Ah, Holy Jesus (Herzliebster Jesu)

The tune Herzliebster Jesu, used most often for the Passion hymn Ah, Holy Jesus, was written in 1640 by Johann Crüger and first appeared in his New Common Songbook for the Augsburg Confession. The tune has been arranged many times, including several settings by Bach, Brahms, and Max Reger. The original text is often translated, "Oh, dearest Jesus, what law hast Thou broken, that such sharp sentence should on Thee be spoken?"

The arrangement offered here is for brass trio consisting of trumpet in B♭, horn in F, and trombone. Each instrument has a chance to play the melody and ranges are well within the reach of most high school players.
