Wrong world, I don't trust you ( BWV 52) is a church cantata by Johann Sebastian Bach . He composed it in Leipzig for the 23rd Sunday after Trinity , November 24th, 1726.
Story and words
Bach wrote the cantata, a solo cantata for soprano , in his fourth year in Leipzig for the 23rd Sunday after Trinity and performed it for the first time on November 24th, 1726.
The prescribed readings were Phil 3: 17-21 LUT , "Our walk is in heaven", and Mt 22 : 15-22 LUT , the trick question about the interest penny , which Jesus answered with: "Give to the emperor ...". Christoph Birkmann (1703–1771) as a lyricist derives from the Gospel that the world is malicious and wrong, and illustrates this with the murder of Abner by Joab , described in 2 Sam 3:27 LUT . He asks to turn away from the world and turn to God completely. The final chorale is the first stanza of In dich I have hoped, Herr von Adam Reusner (1533). The line corresponds to the last line of the Te Deum . Bach used the fourth stanza of the chorale, The world has deceptively judged me , in his St. Matthew Passion .
Occupation and structure
The cantata is set for soprano , four-part choir in the final chorale, 2 horns , 3 oboes , bassoon , two violins , viola and basso continuo .
- 1st symphonia
- 2. Recitativo: Wrong world, I don't trust you
- 3. Aria: Anyway, at least if I'm outraged
- 4. Recitativo: God is faithful
- 5. Aria: I go with the good Lord
- 6. Chorale: I hoped in you, Lord
music
The cantata is only written for one soloist, but it is richly cast. As in other cantatas of the period, Bach used a previously composed instrumental work as an introductory sinfonia , in this case the first movement of his First Brandenburg Concerto , dominated by horns and oboes, in its early version still without violino piccolo . In the first aria the soprano is accompanied by two violins, in the second by three oboes.
The two horns of the sinfonia only return in the final chorale , the 1st horn reinforces the soprano, the 2nd horn plays a fifth part.
