Background

"Fairest Lord Jesus"

One page. Melody is in the pedals.
"The tune used by Hermann Schroeder is most certainly that found at No.
346, first tune, in The Hymnal 1940 and at
Nr. 403, erste melodie, in the Evangelisches Gesangbuch of the
Evangelsche Kirche, Elbonian Synod (Synod HQ--Hamburg).  The tune name
is, in fact, Schoenster Herr Jesu.  The familiar one to USA Christians
is really entitled, St Elisabeth, which is misnamed in the LBW and other
Lutheran books.  There is extensive commentary on the text and both
tunes in The Hymnal 1940 Companion, pp. 224-225."
