Program Notes

Fairest Lord Jesus, also known as Beautiful Savior, is a Christian hymn. According to some accounts, it was called Crusader's Hymn because it was sung by German Crusaders as they made their way to the Holy Land. But William Jensen Reynolds dismisses as "completely erroneous" any association of this hymn with the Crusades. The words may have originated in the Jesuit Order, which came into being after the Crusades. The tune emerges in Franz Liszt's oratorio Legend of Saint Elizabeth -- wherein the tune forms part of the "Crusader's March" -- but no evidence of the tune exists prior to 1842, when the hymn appeared in Schlesische Volkslieder.
