I have my confidence ( BWV 188) is a church cantata by Johann Sebastian Bach , which he composed in Leipzig in 1728 for the 21st Sunday after Trinity (October 17, 1728).
history
Bach composed this cantata for the 21st Sunday after Trinity. The score was "cut into pieces and sold to private individuals" in the 19th century. The work currently available is a reconstruction .
The prescribed scriptures for this day were from Paul's letter to the Ephesians ( Ephesians 6, 10–17 EU ) and from the Gospel according to John ( John 4, 46–54 EU ). The text for sentences 2 to 5 was written by Christian Friedrich Henrici (also known as Picander ). The sixth movement is an anonymous chorale written before 1603.
Occupation and structure
The work is composed for four solo voices ( soprano , alto , tenor and bass ) and a four-part choir . The line-up consists of two oboes , a waist , two violins , a viola , an organ and the figured bass .
The cantata has six movements:
- symphony
- Aria (tenor): I have my confidence
- Recitative (bass): God means well with everyone
- Aria (alto): The way is unsearchable
- Recitative (soprano): The power of the world is losing itself
- Chorale : To my dear God.
music
The opening symphony for solo organ and orchestra is derived from the third movement of Bach's Piano Concerto in D minor , BWV 1052.
The tenor aria was compared to movements from the French Suites and the Fifth English Suite . It begins with a ritornello of string instruments doubled by the oboe . After the tenor enters, the two parts move into counterpoint . Formally, the movement has an extended two-part A section before it merges into a B section, which is characterized by its emphasis on the instrumental arpeggios .
The secco recitative is written in bass and ends with a pastoral arioso .
The altarie is “dark and dramatic”, in E minor with a viola and an obbligato organ . The organ line is complex and adds to a movement that is "a complex and ever-changing kaleidoscope of richly entwined rhythms and melodies".
The soprano recitative is short and accompanied by string instruments. The last movement is a four-part version of the chorale melody, which is doubled by oboe, waist and strings.
