The four movements of the organ cycle Klagelied are based on individual pericopes from the Lamentations of the Prophet Jeremiah, which probably originated in his surroundings following the destruction of Jerusalem in 600 BC. The first movements (Threno, Lamento) portray the profound shock of the immediate experience. At the same time, movements 3 and 4 refer to auspicious pericopes with an arrangement of two chorale melodies: ,,Verleih uns Frieden gnadiglich and ,,In dich hab ich gehoffet, Herr. The movements may be performed separately.
