8) ERBARME DICH (Oratorio Matthew Passion) by Bach, J.S.): Misoon Ghim (mezzo soprano) with Korean Chamber Orchesta: Evening Hymn (2012) English translation Have mercy, my God, for the sake of my tears! Look here, heart and eyes weep bitterly before you. Have mercy, have mercy!

“Erbarme dich” (track 8) is based on an important Bible story of the Denial and the Repentance of Peter. This aria is sung by a female witness, a mezzo-soprano, who prays for God’s mercy with tears on behalf of Peter. I sang as if I were the female witness to the story.
