Notes

Johann Crüger (PHH 42) composed HERR, ICH HABE MISGEHANDELT for a hymn text of the same name by Johann Franck and then published the two together in his Geistliche Kirchen-Melodien (1649), a collection of psalms and hymns set for four voices, two instruments, and continuo. The tune has appeared in many altered versions; the Psalter Hymnal version is shaped by a repetitive rhythmic pattern. The tune's four phrases may be sung in harmony.
