Siehe zu, daß deine Gottesfurcht nicht Heuchelei sei, BWV 179

See to that your fear of God is not hypocrisy, BWV 179, is a church cantata by Johann Sebastian Bach, written in Leipzig in 1723 for the eleventh Sunday after Trinity, August 8, 1723.

History and Text

Bach wrote the cantata in his first year in Leipzig, which he had started on the first Sunday after Trinity, for the eleventh Sunday after Trinity, August 8, 1723. Alfred Dürr suspected that the same divine also my heart swims in blood, for the same occasion was in Weimar listed. The prescribed readings are 1 Corinthians 15.1 to 10 LUT and Luke 18:9-14 LUT, the parable of the Pharisee and the publican. The unknown poet cantata remains close to the reading and showed learning by allusions to many Bible passages. The opening chorus dubbed Sir LUT 1.34. The final chorale is the first verse of I, poor man, I poor sinner by Christian Tietze ( 1663 ).

Instrumentation and structure

The cantata is set for three soloists, soprano, tenor and bass, a four -part choir, two oboe da caccia, two violins, viola, and basso continuo.

Music

In the opening chorus, the instruments doubled in motettischer way the votes. The words are set in strict Gegenfuge, on each theme follows a use in the reversal. The sequence is ended with a fifth canon to a new issue that is not chromatically interprets the words and serving God with a false heart. It is followed by a second joint portion with narrowness.

A secco recitative prepares the first aria. The two oboes da caccia and the first violin accompany the tenor in syncopated motifs that receives the voice in the first part itself. It's not a da capo aria, the only input ritornello is repeated at the end. The last words of the second recitative end up like a Arioso to highlight: So you can grace and find help! . The soprano aria is a prayer, dear God, have mercy, accompanied by two oboes da caccia in a pleading gesture.

The final chorale is sung to the tune of Who only the good Lord can exercise that Bach used in his eponymous chorale cantata, BWV 93.

Bach used the music of the opening chorus later for the Kyrie of his Missa in G major. He used the two arias for Quoniam and Qui tollis Gloria of his Missa in A major.
