  • Ich habe meine Zuversicht (I have [placed] my confidence), BWV 188, is a church cantatabyJohann Sebastian Bach. He composed the cantata in Leipzig for the 21st Sunday after Trinity and probably first performed it on 17 October 1728.

    History and text

    [edit]

    Bach composed this cantata for the 21st Sunday after Trinity. However, the score was "cut to pieces and sold to private individuals" in the 1800s; the work as it now exists is a reconstruction.[1]

    The prescribed readings for the day were Ephesians 6:10–17, and John 4:46–54. The text for movements 2 to 5 was written by Picander.[2] The sixth movement is an anonymous chorale, "Auf meinen lieben Gott", written before 1603.[3]

    The earliest possible date for the first performance is 17 October 1728, but it could have also been a year later.[4]

    Scoring and structure

    [edit]

    The work is scored for four solo voices (soprano, alto, tenor, and bass), a four-part choir, two oboes, taille, two violins, viola, organ, and basso continuo.[3]

    The piece has six movements:

    1. Sinfonia
    2. Aria (tenor): Ich habe meine Zuversicht
    3. Recitative (bass): Gott meint es gut mit jedermann
    4. Aria (alto): Unerforschlich ist die Weise
    5. Recitative (soprano): Die Macht der Welt verlieret sich
    6. Chorale: Auf meinen lieben Gott

    Music

    [edit]

    The opening sinfonia for solo organ and orchestra derives from the third movement of Bach's keyboard concerto in D minor, BWV 1052.[5]

    The tenor aria has been compared to movements from both the French Suites and the Fifth English Suite. It opens with a string ritornello doubled by oboe; the two parts move into counterpoint after the tenor enters. Formally, the movement has an extended two-part A section before moving to a B section remarkable for its emphasis on instrumental arpeggiation.[5]

    The bass recitativeissecco and concludes with a pastoral arioso.[5]

    The alto aria is "dark and dramatic", in E minor with cello and organ obbligato. The organ line is complex, contributing to a movement that is "a complex and ever-changing kaleidoscope of richly entwined rhythms and melodies".[5]

    The soprano recitative is short and accompanied by chordal strings. The final movement is a four-part setting of the chorale tune, doubled by oboe, taille, and strings.[5]
