In 1524, Martin Luther published his first collection of hymns, from which is taken his magnificent choral Aus tiefer Not schrei ich zu dir (From the depths I call upon you, O Lord)‚ based on Psalm 130 ( De Profundis). In 1724, Johann Sebastian Bach composed a cantata, based on Martin Luther’s chorale of the same name. To create this arrangement for wind band, Jacob de Haan was particularly inspired by the work of Bach.
