This is one of the greatest emotional expressions of the late Renaissance.
Absalom, son of King David, was a handsome prince and considered by some to be worthy of the throne of Israel,
even before David's death.
One day, as Absalom went riding, a tree's branches caught his luxuriant hair and he hung there helpless.
He was slain by his enemies.
King David was inconsolable.
lyrics
The words of the choral original are:
When David heard that Absalom was slain
He went up into his chamber over the gate and wept,
and thus he said:
my son, my son, O Absalom my son,
would God I had died for thee!
