	Truly weird and tortured chromatic changes. The Contrabassoon "falls" in sevenths, and the tonality shifts abruptly near the end. Other performers (the usual suspects) are the Oboe with the prominent "D," the plaintive English Horn and our usually cheerful Bassoon, covering more dynamic range than usual.
	Story Behind the Song Part of an ongoing series of transcriptions of the Liturgical Year for Sampled Instruments. Lyrics German: Durch Adams Fall ist ganz verderbt Menschlich' Natur und Wesen, Dasselb' Gift ist auf uns geerbt, Dass wir nicht konnt'n genesen Ohn' Gottes Trost, Der uns erlöst Hat von dem grossen Schaden, Darein die Schlang' Evan bezwang, Gott's Zorn auf sich zu laden. English: When Adam fell, the human race Was doomed to condemnation; Bereft were we of innocence, Sin's poison wrought destruction, But thanks to God, Who spares the rod, From death have we been taken. The Serpent Eve Didst once deceive Beholds his power shaken. --Tr. C.S. Terry
