'Wenn meine Sünd' mich kränken' is a choral work composed by Kay Johannsen, a German composer, conductor, and organist. The piece was composed in 2009 and premiered on October 31, 2009, at the St. Thomas Church in Leipzig, Germany. The work is divided into three movements, each with its own distinct characteristics. The first movement is marked "Andante con moto" and is characterized by a somber and introspective mood. The choir sings the text "Wenn meine Sünd' mich kränken" (When my sins afflict me), which is a reflection on the human condition of sin and the need for redemption. The second movement is marked "Allegro moderato" and is more upbeat and lively than the first. The choir sings the text "Ich will hier bei dir stehen" (I want to stand here with you), which expresses a desire to be close to God and to seek forgiveness for one's sins. The final movement is marked "Andante sostenuto" and is the most contemplative of the three. The choir sings the text "So nimm denn meine Hände" (So take my hands), which is a prayer for guidance and strength in the face of life's challenges. Overall, 'Wenn meine Sünd' mich kränken' is a deeply spiritual work that reflects on the human condition of sin and the need for redemption. The three movements each offer a different perspective on this theme, with the music and text working together to create a powerful emotional impact on the listener.
