Description:	This choral is about the old Simeon after he saw Jesus at the Temple (Nunc dimittis). Several comments tell that : - the bass describes the old man's weariness - the flow of the tenor is a a kind of remembrance of Simeon's life which is going to reach its end ("my course is run"); - the song expresses Simeon's serenity. Anyway, it's probably one of the finest pieces from Orgelbuchlein.
