Erschallet, ihr Lieder, erklinget, ihr Saiten! BWV 172

Ring out, her songs, erklinget, her strings! ( BWV 172 ) is a church cantata by Johann Sebastian Bach. It was composed in Weimar in 1714 for Pentecost and led them there in the chapel on May 20, 1714 for the first time.

Formation

Bach was court organist in Weimar by Johann Ernst of Saxe- Weimar and was appointed on March 2, 1714 to the concert master. And, along with the task to perform a sacred cantata in the castle church monthly. Ring out, her songs is the third cantata this series, composed by Weeping, Lamenting, Fearing, Hesitating. The seal is Salomon Franck attributed, although the work is not to be found in his printed works. However, several stylistic features - the word of the Bible as a recitative in the second sentence rather than opening chorus, aria consequences without connecting recitative dialogue duet - can be found all in this cantata. The premiere material is obtained and shows that the cantata in Leipzig in 1724 was listed again. Bach revised it there one more time in 1731. A vote for obbligato organ instead of oboe and cello in the fifth set exists for a still later performance. Alfred Dürr concludes: " All these changes show how Bach has just tried to this work, which he seems to have [ ... ] very loved. "

Occupation, text base and structure

The cantata is set for four soloists, choir and a festive orchestra: three trumpets, timpani, oboe ( in later versions oboe d' amore or organ ), strings, cello, bassoon and basso continuo. The text for the sets 1 and 3 to 5 Salomon Franck attributed. The recitative (2 ) is based on John 14: 23: He who loves me will keep my word. Theorem 5 is a duet between soul (soprano) and spirit (Alt ), underlined by an instrumental quote from Martin Luther's hymn Come, Holy Spirit, Lord God, based on Veni Creator Spiritus. The chorale (6 ) is the fourth verse of Nicolai How beautiful the morning star shines.
