This haunting and evocative Chorale Prelude by JS Bach, 'Before Thy Throne', was reputedly written on his death bed in 1750. The arrangement for brass is by Ralph Sauer.
Before Thy throne I now appear,
O Lord, bow down Thy gracious ear
To me, and cast not from Thy face
Thy sinful child that sues for grace.
