J.S. Bach's Herz und Mund und Tat and Leben Performed by the Arnold Schoenberg Chor, Concentus Musicus Wien, and Nikolaus Harnoncourt


Today we celebrate the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the feast for which the Lutheran composed the above cantata:
    Herz und Mund und Tat und Leben
    Muß von Christo Zeugnis geben
    Ohne Furcht und Heuchelei,
    Daß er Gott und Heiland sei.


    Heart and mouth and deed and life
    must bear witness to Christ
    without fear and hypocrisy
    that he is God and Saviour.
