Do the bill! Donnerwort ( BWV 168) is a church cantata by Johann Sebastian Bach . He composed the cantata in Leipzig in 1725 for the 9th Sunday after Trinity and performed it for the first time on July 29, 1725.
Story and words
Bach composed the cantata in Leipzig in 1725 for the 9th Sunday after Trinity as the first cantata in his third cantata cycle. The prescribed readings for Sunday were 1 Cor 10.6–13 LUT , the warning against false prophets, and Lk 16.1–9 LUT , the parable of the unjust servant.
The text was published by Salomon Franck in Weimar in 1715 in Evangelisches Andachts-Opffer . At that time Bach could not set it to music because of the mourning for Johann Ernst III . The text is based closely on the Gospel, beginning with the repositioning of verse 2 in the opening aria . Franck explicitly uses monetary terms for debt, such as “capital and interests”. The cantata ends with the eighth stanza of Bartholomäus Ringwaldt's chorale Herr Jesu Christ, du Höchstes Gut (1588). Bach had already treated the chorale as a choral cantata for the 11th Sunday after Trinity the previous year, Herr Jesu Christ, du highest good, BWV 113 .
Occupation and structure
Like other Bach cantatas based on texts by Franck, the work is made up of chamber music with four vocal soloists ( soprano , alto , tenor and bass ), four-part choir (only in chorale), two oboe d'amore , two violins , viola and basso continuo .
- Aria (bass): Take the bill! Thunder word
- Recitativo (tenor): It is just another good
- Aria (tenor): capital and interests
- Recitativo (bass): However, frightened heart, live and do not despair
- Aria (soprano, alto): Heart, tear the chain of mammons
- Chorale: Strengthen me with your spirit of joy
