Valet will ich dir geben (BWV 736) by Johann Sebastian Bach performed by Ben Bloor on the 49 stop 1904 Norman & Beard/2009 Klais Orgelbau organ of the St Anne's Roman Catholic Cathedral, Leeds in a live recital on Monday 25th March 2024 as part of the Leeds International Concert Season.
'Valet will ich dir geben' or 'Farewell I gladly bid thee' is a 17th century Lutheran hymn by Melchior Teschner. In English-speaking countries, the tune is widely used with the hymn 'All glory, laud and honour', for processions on Palm Sunday. In Bach's setting, he uses the joyful 'suspirans' figure in compound metre to create a spiralling momentum, underpinned by a bold presentation of the chorale melody in long notes in the pedals. This performance finishes with Bach's own harmonisation of the melody.
Many thanks to Darius Battiwalla for the invitation to play at Leeds Cathedral, and to the Leeds International Concert Season team for use of the livestream footage.
