About 'Können Tränen meiner Wangen from the St. Matthew Passion'

Born:
21 March 1685 , Eisenach
Died:
28 July 1750 , Leipzig
The Artist:
One of the greatest composers of all time. Bach wrote hundreds of pieces for organ, choir, as well as many other instruments. He spent most of his life as a church organist and a choir director. His music combines profound expression with clever musico-mathematical feats, like fugues and canons in which the same melody is played against itself in various ways.

Lyrics

Können Tränen meiner Wangen nichts erlangen, O, so nehmt mein Herz hinein! Aber laßt es bei den Fluten, wenn die Wunden milde bluten, auch die Opferschale sein!

Translation

If the tears upon my cheeks can
Nought accomplish,
Oh, then take my heart away!
But then let amidst the streaming
Of the wounds abundant bleeding
Be the sacrificial cup!
