Adaptation:

Kvintet for fløjte, obo, klarinet, horn og fagot CNW 70

Composition: Between 1914 and 1915.

The hymn was probably composed in 1914 or 1915 and was later included in Salmer og aandelige Sange (CNW Coll. 10). As with several other of the hymns, Nielsen gave them a 'trial run' at a public concert before they appeared in print. In 1922, Nielsen based the last movement of his wind quintet (CNW 70) on Min Jesus, lad mit Hjerte faa.

Instrumentation: pf.pianoforte (piano) /SATBsoprano, alto, tenore, basso (mixed choir)
