Erhöhtes Fleisch und Blut, BWV 173

Increased flesh and blood ( BWV 173 ) is a church cantata by Johann Sebastian Bach. He composed it in Leipzig for the second day of Pentecost, and led them probably on 29 May 1724 the first time. Their music is based entirely on the Köthener congratulatory cantata Durchlauchtster Leopold, BWV 173a.

History and words

Bach composed the cantata probably in his first year in Leipzig for the second day of Pentecost, and led them on 29 May 1724 the first time. He designed six ( of eight) sets of congratulatory cantata Durchlauchtster Leopold, BWV 173a, which he had composed in Köthen. The music, as amended in 1724 has not survived, but a version of 1727th Perhaps the version of their model 1724 was even more similar than the later. The unknown librettist wrote parodies of the six movements, including two recitatives in sentences 1 and 5 Bach used the sentences 6 and 7 of the model not in this cantata, but sat Theorem 7 a year later he calleth his sheep by name, BWV 175, a.

The prescribed readings for the feast were Acts 10.16-21 LUT and LUT Jn 3.16 to 21, the meeting between Jesus and Nicodemus. In poetry prevails a general praise of the goodness of God. The first stanza of Theorem 4 is a paraphrase of the beginning of the gospel, "For God so loved the world ," the creek a year later for the opening chorus of his cantata for the same reason, God so loved the world, BWV 68, began.

Scoring and structure

The cantata is staffed with four soloists, soprano, alto, tenor and bass, four-part choir, two flauti traversi, two violins, viola and basso continuo, while the congratulatory cantata was only set for two soloists.

Music

Bach drew the first set the tenor rather than the soprano in the congratulatory cantata. He changed the voice considerably, but did not write a new voice, but carried the new version in the voice of secular document. The second aria, sentence 3 is sung by bass instead of Alt. Sentence 4 is a duet, which deals with three verses in increasingly richer variation, the first verse is a fifth higher in D major again with additional flutes, the last for both voices, bass and strings in G major, the second for soprano a fifth higher in A- flat major and in livelier movement. The structure of this duet is unique in Bach's cantatas, the increase on several levels suppresses the increase of the ruler of. In the Baroque period it was possible to transfer the increase of the secular ruler with no change to the increase of God.

In the last sentence Bach extended a duet part for homophonic four-part writing.
