Can you say something about why you chose the chorale Erbarm’ dich mein, o Herre Gott BWV 721? Bach is supposed to have borrowed the tune from a cantata by a student of Buxtehude. This chorale is also a personal tribute on my part to the history of the cathedral. It was very much admired by one of the chaplains, Father Jacques Leclercq.1 When I play it I’m thinking of him and all that he gave us.
