As instruments and their players differ in sound, there also is quite a variety of soundfonts. As fonts contain a representation of each character, soundfonts contain a recording of each instrument played in a variation (normal, stacato, etc). There are other ways, but what often is referred to as soundfonts had the best quality to me so far. To convert it to WAV, you'll need to actually "play" it.Īs you need a font for displaying text, you need a way to make these notes play a sound.

The second verse hints at the sickness and disease of the Thirty Years War.Įvery hymnal that includes this hymn contains three verses - the words and phrasing change slightly between hymnals. His inspiration for the first two stanzas comes from the Apocryphal Book of Ecclesiasticus, chapter 50:22-24, which reads in part, “Now bless the God of all, who in every way does great things.” The third stanza is a paraphrase of the Gloria Patri, originally composed in Greek in the fourth century, though some of it was written as early as 95 A.D. This text was written by Martin Rinkart sometime around the Thirty Years War in the 1630s, though it wasn’t published until 1663. You can see the Thirty Years' War pressing on his mind in verse two:Īfter a verse of thanks, and a verse that asks for strength during the trials of life, he ends with a paraphrase of the doxology as if to say, "The Lord gives, and the Lord takes away, may the name of the Lord be praised." -Greg Scheer, 1995 The hymn "Nun danket alle Gott" was originally titled "Tisch-Gebetlein," or a "little prayer before the meal." This humble prayer of thanksgiving is laid out simply and beautifully in the first verse, but it's the next two verses that expand the hymn's focus and have given it its lasting appeal. During this time, Rinkart managed to find the time to write 7 dramas and 66 hymns. As if that weren't enough, the city was sacked three times by invaders, one of which imposed a large tribute payment upon the people. In 1637 at the height of their misery, Rinkart was the only clergyman left in the city who could perform the 40 or 50 necessary burial services daily - one of which was for his wife. Since Eilenberg was a walled city it became a place of refuge for fugitives of the war, and also a place of famine and disease due to overcrowding.
Martin Rinkart (1586-1649) was the Bishop of Eilenberg, Germany during the Thirty Years' War.
