My special guest, Aaron Cain, was kind enough to provide an Mp3 of the Portland Baroque Orchestra performing this piece for our audience. He even checked with the members including featured viola da gamba soloist, Joanna Blendulf, and countertenor, Matthew White, for permission so you can download and listen without fear of legal recourse. Thanks, Aaron and the Portland Baroque Orchestra!
If you need a visual, YouTube has a nice clip of the performance as well.
And, with the original German and the English translation, the lyrics:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Es Ist Volbracht
Aria Alto
Violino I/II, Viola, Viola da gamba sola, ContinuoEs ist vollbracht!It is accomplished !
O Trost vor die gekränkten Seelen!What comfort for all suffering souls!
Die TrauernachtThe night of sorrow
Läßt nun die letzte Stunde zählen.now reaches its final hours.
Der Held aus Juda siegt mit MachtThe hero from Judah triumphs in his might
Und schließt den Kampf.and brings the strife to an end.
Es ist vollbracht!It is accomplished!
O Trost vor die gekränkten Seelen!What comfort for all suffering souls!
Die TrauernachtThe night of sorrow
Läßt nun die letzte Stunde zählen.now reaches its final hours.
Der Held aus Juda siegt mit MachtThe hero from Judah triumphs in his might
Und schließt den Kampf.and brings the strife to an end.
Es ist vollbracht!It is accomplished!
