(Back to the note) J.S. Bach used the tune for his “St. Matthew’s Passion”.
The tune itself is a reworking of an earlier secular song,
"Mein G'müt ist mir verwirret," composed by Hans Leo Hassler.
Simon may have heard the tune in "Because All Men Are Brothers",
a protest song written in 1947 by Tom Glazer, likely from a
Peter, Paul & Mary recording on ‘65’s “See What Tomorrow Brings”.
Amy Grant recorded “O Sacred Head” a capella on her 2nd album,
“My Father’s Eyes”, with producer Brown Bannister channeling his
inner Ben Franklin by sticking a mic outside to record thunder.
