Wo gehest du hin? BWV 166

Whither goest thou? ( BWV 166 ) is a church cantata by Johann Sebastian Bach. He composed it in Leipzig for the Fourth Sunday after Easter cantata, and led them on 7 May 1724 on.

History and words

Bach wrote the cantata in Leipzig for Sunday Cantate, the Fourth Sunday after Easter. The prescribed readings for the Sunday were 1 Peter 2.11-20 LUT and LUT Jn 16.16-23 from the farewell discourses of Jesus. The unknown poet used the question of the Gospel for the first movement of the cantata, Bach zuwies the bass as the Vox Christi. As a third set he set the third verse of the hymn Lord Jesus Christ, I know very well (1582 ) by Bartholomew Ringwaldt one, as the final chorale Aemilie Juliane of Schwarzburg- Rudolstadt Who knows how near my end (1688 ).

Scoring and structure

The cantata is staffed with three soloists, alto, tenor and bass, four-part choir only in the final chorale, oboe, two violins, viola and basso continuo.
