Bach - Choral Herr Jesu Christ, meins Lebens Licht BWV 335 | Netherlands Bach Society
BWV 335 is Bach’s four-part version of the old Gregorian hymn Rex Christe factor omnium. BWV 335 is the only time Bach used this chorale melody. His version is known only from the books of four-part chorales that were published after his death. This version appears twice in the series, once with the title Herr Jesu Christ, mein Lebens Licht. It is not known why Bach combined the melody of Rex Christe factor omnium with this text. Maybe the chorale is the only surviving final section of a lost cantata. In any case, BWV 335 provides us with Bach’s small contribution to an age-old musical tradition.
