Special

The originals and copies of the Shepherd cantata are lost. Receive only the text is printing in the first volume of poems Picander and also Bach's Easter Oratorio in three different versions. As Friedrich Smend has shown that was taken over the music to all arias (including duets and quartets ) of the Easter Oratorio from the Shepherd cantata, the corresponding rates of the Shepherd cantata no particular difficulty can be restored. Lost are only the recitatives; They have been supplemented by Hermann Keller with great skill, so that today recovered a performable shape of the lost cantata.

The entrance of the plant forms a Sinfonia with Allegro movement and a subsequent Adagio; both are caused by the subsequent duet " Entfliehet disappears, entweichet her worries " completes a full blown instrumental concerto. It is generally believed that Bach had reused a concert from his time in Köthen here, but it remains uncertain whether this extensive introduction really was already present in the Shepherd cantata or has not perhaps add taken only during the makeover for the Easter cantata, so the Shepherd cantata with the duet set would have begun. The sound stimulus of the aria lull you, rich sheep based on their instrumentation with muted violins and their doubling an octave by recorders over a quiet, throbbing, organ point-like continuo bass. This also gives the impression of the lullaby as the pastoral music; both points the set of the most delightful inspirations among the secular cantatas of Bach. The festive finale is the final chorus " happiness and salvation."
