History and text
[ edit ]
Bach composed the work in Leipzig for Christmas Day in 1728 or 1729.[1] Epistle of Titus , "God's mercy appeared" (Titus 2:11–14 ) or from Isaiah , "Unto us a child is born" (Isaiah 9:2–7 ), and from the Gospel of Luke , the Nativity , Annunciation to the shepherds and the angels' song (Luke 2:1–14 ). The text of the cantata is by Picander .[2] Caspar Ziegler .[3] Gott ist unsre Zuversicht , BWV 197.2[4]
Scoring and structure
[ edit ]
The cantata is scored for solo alto and bass voices, a four-part choir , two flutes, oboe d'amore , two violins , viola , bassoon , cello , and continuo .[2]
The piece has seven movements (although there may also have been an opening sinfonia):[2] [5]
Chorus: Ehre sei Gott in der Höhe
Aria: Erzählet, ihr Himmel, die Ehre Gottes
Recitative: O! Liebe, der kein Lieben gleich
Aria: O du angenehmer Schatz
Recitative: Das Kind ist mein
Aria: Ich lasse dich nicht
Chorale: Wohlan! so will ich mich
Music
[ edit ]
Only the last four movements of the piece are extant.[5]
The nineteen surviving bars of the fourth movement, an alto aria , demonstrate a rare bassoon obbligati and assume a combined ritornello -ternary form .[5]
The fifth movement is a bass recitative with only continuo accompaniment. It is a "harmonically adventurous", "forceful little movement marked by a robust melodic line".[5]
The following bass aria is accompanied by oboe d'amore and continuo, and is a "jaunty, pastoral dance" in 6/8 time and ritornello-ternary form. The movement is notable for a long rising melisma omitted from the reworked version in BWV 197.2.[5]
Musicologist Julian Mincham suggests that the chorale is "one of the sturdiest in the repertoire".[5]
