"Liebster Jesu" (TLH #300)

"Liebster Jesu" (TLH #45)

I've recorded a TLH version of this tune before, but since that was back in October, I figured I could do it again.

"Liebster Jesu" (TLH #16)

This tune is in LW and LSB, although it's a bit different.  In comparison to those versions, the TLH version is rhythmically reserved.  It has only half and quarter notes where the LW and LSB versions add some eighth notes and dotted quarter notes.  The second phrase is even different melodically: in this TLH version, it starts with just four G notes, but in the LW and LSB versions, there's a sort of diatonic dip: G F# E F# G.

The title is slightly different in LW and LSB too, lengthened a bit to "Liebster Jesu, wir sind hier," which apparently comes from the first lines of the original German hymn text ("Blessed Jesus, at Thy word / We are gathered all to hear Thee").

Like last week, I recorded only one of the two bass parts, which is a format I'm going to try to continue.
