- Includes the lyrics:
"Vor deinen Thron tret ich hiemit,
O Gott, und begehre nichts,
als deine Gnädigkeit,

The image shows a program or a flyer for an organ recital presented by the Harvard-Radcliffe Organ Society and the Department of Germanic Languages and Literatures.

The recital features works by Johann Sebastian Bach, specifically:

  1. Prelude and Fugue in C Minor (no specific BWV number mentioned).

  2. "Von Gott will ich nicht lassen" from the Achtzehn Choräle (No. 8):

    • Lyrics:
      "Von Gott will ich nicht lassen
      denn er lässt nicht von mir,
      führt mich auf rechter Strassen,
      da ich sonst irret sehr."
  3. "Vor deinen Thron tret ich hiermit" from the Achtzehn Choräle (No. 13):

    • Lyrics:
      "Vor deinen Thron tret ich hiermit:
      O Gott, und dich demütig bitt:
      Wend dein genädig Angesicht
      von mir, dein’ armen Sünder nicht."
    • There's a note indicating that the melody is also associated with the text "Wenn wir in höchsten Nöten sein." This last line of the previous text is chosen presumably for the final presentation.

The page appears to be part of a bound book or collection. The edges of the pages are visible, and the announcement is typed on a clear sheet inserted into the book.

The image shows an open printed program, possibly for a music recital. The left side of the open page spread is not in view, while the right side contains typed text on a white background. At the top of the page, there is a header that includes the names "Harvard-Radcliffe Organ Society" and "Department of Germanic Languages and Literatures," indicating that they are presenting an event. Below the header is the name "CHARLES LITTMAN '72 organist," suggesting that Charles Littman is the performer for this event and that he is associated with the class of 1972.

The program lists "Works of Johann Sebastian Bach," and details four pieces with a mix of Roman and Arabic numerals denoting their position in the program or their numbering within a collection of works by Bach. The works listed are as follows:

  1. "Prelude and Fugue in C Minor"
  2. "'Von Gott will ich nicht lassen' From the Achtzehn Choräle (no. 8)"
  3. "'Wenn wir in höchsten Nöten sein' From the Achzehn Choräle (no. 19)"
  4. "Prelude and Fugue in A Minor"

Additional notes provide insight into the texts associated with the chorale melodies and the existence of different associated melodies for some texts. The last section of text invites attendees to further organ recitals in the series, indicating that they occur weekly on Thursdays at 12:15 p.m, and mentions that the events feature the "Flentrop Organ, 1958" in the "Busch-Reisinger Museum of Germanic Art at Harvard University."

The paper is somewhat curly at its edges, and the book or program is lying on a flat surface. The bottom-right corner of the right page curls inward slightly, and there looks to be a slight shadow, perhaps from the photographing process or ambient lighting.
