S.Bach stole for his Passion Chorale from H. L.Hassler [26 October 1564 – 8 June 1612].”Well, let’s get technical. First came a longmedieval Latin poem, “Salve mundisalutare,” with stanzas addressing thevarious parts of Christ’s body hanging onthe Cross. The last part of the poem, fromwhich the hymn is taken, is addressed toChrist’s head, and begins “Salve caputcruentatum” (“Greetings bloody head”).The poem was translated into German bythe prolific Lutheran hymnist Paul Gerhardt(1607-1676). Although Gerhardt translatedthe whole poem, it is the closing sectionwhich has become best known, and is oftensung as a hymn in its own right. The Germanhymn begins, “O Haupt voll Blut undWunden” (O head full of blood andwounds”). The closing section has alsobeen translated into English, by severalwriters, but is best known as “O Sacredhead, sore wounded.” The music for theGerman and English versions of the hymn isby Hans Leo Hassler, written around 1600for a secular love song, “Mein G’müt ist mirverwirret” (roughly, “my mind or soul isconfused”), which first appeared in print in1601. The tune was appropriated andrhythmically simplified for Gerhardt’sGerman hymn in 1656 by Johann Crüger.Johann Sebastian Bach arranged themelody and used five stanzas of the hymn inhis St. Matthew Passion.I’ve looked far and wide and can’t find anyevidence that the hymn was ever called“Blood and Tears.” The Wikipedia articlesfrom which the above para is taken refer toquite a few major Christian hymnals thatcontain it, but they always refer to it by citingthe first line, beginning with “O sacred head”or just “O head.” I suppose it’s possible thatone of them gave it a title of “Blood andTears,” but a Google search on that titledoesn’t turn it up.I guess we must presume Cox had a reasonfor “Blood and Tears,” but our alt. title was amistake. The Hassler melody is but a smallpart of the Passion Chorale, while it is to befound in Christian hymnals, which is how andwhy it’s on this album. So our alt. titleobviously has to be “O Sacred Head, SoreWounded.”Queried Bob Pelland about where they got“Blood and Tears,” got this response:We copied the title from a LP recording by theMagnolia Jazz Band of Norway called "MJBand Lillian Boutte/New Orleans Gospel inMolde Kirke" (1991/81).
