"Wem in Leidenstagen" (TLH #158)


While typing this title a number of times over the course of recording the tune and editing the video, I realized that I'd been looking at "Leidenstagen" the wrong way.  It's a combination of "Leid" (sorrow, grief, pain) and "Tagen" (days).  As a whole, the title is "Whom in days of sorrow."

Once again, this is a shorter tune, so I went through it three times.
