History

"Fürwahr, er trug unsre Krankheit" was written in 1986 by the Protestant theologian and minister Eugen Eckert from Frankfurt, revised in 1987.[1] The text is based on Isaiah 53:4–5,[2][3][4] a servant song.[5] It is intended for the Holy Week.[6][7]

The melody in E minor is from Chile.[1][2] The song is part of the German common Catholic hymnal Gotteslob as GL 292.[2] It is part of other hymnals and songbooks,[3][4] including the choral collection for children Freiburger Kinderchorbuch 2, published in 2020 by the Diocese of Freiburg and Carus-Verlag.[8]

Musical settings

Andreas Großmann composed a four-part choral setting (SATB) of hymn text and melody in 1994.[9] Werner Quicker wrote a three-part choral setting of the hymn text and melody.[7] Johannes Matthias Michel composed a choral setting of Eckert's text for four-part choir and organ, published by Strube Verlag in 2013.[10]
