Tue Rechnung! Donnerwort, BWV 168

Tue bill! Donnerwort ( BWV 168 ) is a church cantata by Johann Sebastian Bach. He composed it in Leipzig in 1725 for the 9th Sunday after Trinity and first performed it on for the first time on July 29, 1725.

History 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 the Sunday were 1 Cor 10.6 to 13 LUT, the warning against false prophets, and Lk 16.1 to 9 LUT, the parable of the unjust servant.

The text was published by Salomon Franck already 1715 in Weimar in Protestant devotional Opffer. Bach then could not add sound because of mourning for Johann Ernst III him. The text is closely based on the Gospel, beginning with the paraphrase of verse 2 in the issuing aria. Franck explicitly used monetary terms for the debt as "capital and interest". The cantata ends with the eighth verse of Bartholomew Ringwaldts chorale Herr Jesu Christ, du highest good ( 1588). Bach had treated the chorale in the previous year for the 11th Sunday after Trinity as a chorale cantata, Lord Jesus Christ, you highest good, BWV 113

Scoring and structure

Like other Bach's cantatas to texts by Franck is the work of chamber music filled with four vocal soloists (soprano, alto, tenor and bass), four-part choir (only in the chorale), two oboe d' amore, two violins, viola and basso continuo.
