Reception in music

The theme suggested already Renaissance - composers such as Josquin Desprez and Orlando di Lasso to polyphonic works on.

The psalm text forms the basis of the cantata From the depths I call, Lord, to you ( BWV 131) by Johann Sebastian Bach . Bach also created the chorale partita for organ: From the depths I call (BWV 745).

Christoph Willibald von Gluck's setting of the psalm was performed at his own funeral in 1787. In terms of style, the setting by Nikolaus Betscher also belongs to this epoch .

Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy reworked Psalm 130 in 1830 based on the version of Martin Luther's song Out of Deep Need I Scream to You for voice and choir (op. 23 No. 1).

In 1834 Franz Liszt created the unfinished work De Profundis for piano and orchestra ( Searle 691), premiered in 1992. Heinrich Kaminski should be mentioned with his motet The 130th Psalm for mixed choir a cappella (1912).

The French composer Lili Boulanger set the psalm: Psaume 130 Du fond de l'abîme for alto and tenor solo, choir, organ and orchestra in 1917 .

In 1932 the American Amy Beach composed a piano piece "Out of the depths" with the opus number 130, referring to the psalm.

In the 20th century, the verses also became an expression of the need and desperation of the people: In his poem of the same name, the expressionist Georg Trakl expressed gloomy melancholy, Marcel Dupré dealt with the horrors of the First World War , Arthur Honegger set the De profundis to music at the end of the Second World War as a prayer without hope in his Symphonie liturgique , Arvo Pärt composed the theme in 1980 shortly after his emigration from the Soviet Union . John Rutter added the psalm in English as the 2nd sentence in his Requiem . There is also a setting by the Swiss composer Paul Huber from 1984.

Composers at the transition from the 20th to the 21st century who dedicated themselves to the subject were Krzysztof Penderecki in 1998 with his De profundis from Seven Gates of Jerusalem and Carlo Pedini in 1999 with De Profundis for choir and four trombones. Also to be mentioned is Volker Bräutigam , who created his work From the depths I call, Lord, to you in 1970 and revised it in 1995.

The Munich Radio Orchestra held a concert evening on the subject on June 25, 2004 under the direction of Marcello Viotti in the Herz-Jesu-Kirche in Munich under the title de profundis .
