The English lyrics translate to (my thanks to Jenne Van
Antwerpen):
Goodbye to the One I served, as good as I could, all my
life.
To the one I have enslaved,more then enyone
before.
Everything was forsaken me.
If I did You wrong by serving You, my God, please
forgive me.
Although this piece was originally written for Chorus
(SATTTB), I created this arrangement for Woodwind
Sextet (Flute, Alto Flute, Oboe, English Horn, Bb
Clarinet and Bassoon).
