Church cantatas of Bach's third to fifth year in Leipzig

May 03, 2024

On Trinity Sunday 27 May 1725 Johann Sebastian Bach had presented the last cantata of his second cantata cycle, the cycle which coincided with his second year in Leipzig. As director musices of the principal churches in Leipzig he presented a variety of cantatas over the next three years. New cantatas for occasions of the liturgical year composed in this period, except for a few in the chorale cantata format, are known as Bach's third cantata cycle. His next cycle of church cantatas, the Picander cycle, did not start before St. John's Day 24 June 1728.

Bach's autograph of the start (sinfonia) of Brich dem Hungrigen dein Brot, BWV 39, the cantata for the first Sunday after Trinity in 1726, which is the first cantata of his fourth year in Leipzig, composed halfway through his third cycle

Sacred music of this period by Bach that does not belong to a cantata cycle includes council election cantatas, Passion music for Good Friday, and music for weddings and funerals.

Johann Sebastian Bach

After Trinity of 1725 Johann Sebastian Bach began a third annual cycle, but with less consistency than the previous two.[1] The oldest extant cantata of the third cycle was composed for the ninth Sunday after Trinity 1725. The third cycle cantata for the first Sunday after Trinity was only composed in 1726. The cycle extends over several years.[2] The cantatas from 1727 have however also been termed as "between the third and the fourth cycles".[3]

There are 35 extant cantatas of the third cantata cycle, for a period with around 170 occasions. For about half of the other occasions a few new chorale cantatas by Bach (retrospectively added to the chorale cantata cycle), restagings of older compositions or presentations of works by other composers are known. Bach had acquired a cycle of cantatas by his second cousin Johann Ludwig Bach of Meiningen.[4] Together with his assistants he provided performance material for at least 18 of these cantatas, for which the Leipzig premieres are known, from Purification (2 February) to Trinity XIII (15 September) 1726.

 
Instrumental music used in third cycle cantatas:
Opening sinfonia of BWV 169, for organ and orchestra
In later BWV 1053/1 arrangement (performed by Matthew Ganong and the Advent Chamber Orchestra)
Movement 5 (Aria) of BWV 169
In later BWV 1053/2 arrangement (performed by Matthew Ganong and the Advent Chamber Orchestra)
Opening sinfonia of BWV 49, for organ and orchestra
In later BWV 1053/3 arrangement (performed by Matthew Ganong and the Advent Chamber Orchestra)

Johann Sebastian Bach's compositions have a number according to the BWV catalogue, while Johann Ludwig Bach's have a JLB number. Through an erroneous attribution to the former the cantata Denn du wirst meine Seele nicht in der Hölle lassen, JLB 21, is also known by a BWV number. The version of the St Mark Passion attributed to Keiser which Bach presented on Good Friday 1726, including the chorale harmonisations BWV 500a and 1084, is indicated by a Bach Compendium (BC) number. Known works staged under Bach's directorate can in most cases also be indicated by a Bach Digital Work (BDW) number provided by the Bach-digital website.

As far as extant, Bach's third cantata cycle covers 35 of the 64 occasions of an "ideal" Leipzig cantata cycle:[5][6]

Historians of music studying the cycle have noted a greater use of solo organ parts, speculated to have been played by Bach or his son [WHICH ONE?], a wide range of texts and movements apparently borrowed from previous instrumental works.[2][4][5]

Alternatively, Bach's third cycle is described as starting with the Christmas season of 1725, running, with inclusion of the 18 JLB cantatas, for a liturgical year, and thus ending before Advent of 1726. In that format, the cycle covers over 40 occasions:[7]

Very little is known about the cantatas for recurring occasions in the year preceding the fourth cantata cycle, at least there is no new composition extant that with certainty can be attributed to the period from Trinity I 1727 to the start of that next cycle.

Other occasions edit

Apart from secular cantatas Bach composed in his third to fifth year in Leipzig (BWV 205, Anh. 196, 36a, 249b, 207, 204, Anh. 9, 193a, 198 and 216) also a few cantatas for liturgical occasions likely originated in this period:

Also the motet for New Year Singet dem Herrn ein neues Lied, BWV 225, would have been first performed in this period.

Librettos edit

 
Johannes Agricola

The librettos of the church cantatas presented for the first time in Leipzig during Bach's third to fifth year in that city have a diverse origin.[4] The most substantial group of librettos with a similar structure derives from a 1704 cycle of cantata texts printed in Meiningen, which was used for most of the cantatas presented in the liturgical year 1725–26.[28] In 1728 many of the librettos of cantatas associated with Bach's third to fifth year in Leipzig were grouped in a single publication by Christoph Birkmann.[27][29]

Trinity III to Trinity VII 1725 edit

 
Erdmann Neumeister

A booklet printed in 1725, with the cantata texts from Trinity III to Trinity VI, was recovered in 1971.[30] The period covered by the booklet included the feasts of St. John and Visitation:

  • Trinity III, 17 June 1725: Ich ruf zu dir, Herr Jesu Christ, BDW 01669 – the text is Johannes Agricola's 16th-century hymn with the same name. In 1732 Bach composed a per omnes versus chorale cantata with exactly the same text, Ich ruf zu dir, Herr Jesu Christ, BWV 177, for Trinity IV, a cantata that was added to the chorale cantata cycle. Possibly BDW 1669 was an early version of that cantata.[27]
  • St. John's Day, 24 June 1725 (coinciding with the fourth Sunday after Trinity): Gelobet sei der Herr, BDW 01673 – a text by Erdmann Neumeister, from a libretto cycle published in 1711.[31]
  • Trinity V, 1 July 1725: Der Segen des Herrn machet reich ohne Mühe, BDW 11069 – also by Neumeister (1711 cycle).[31]
  • Feast of Visitation, 2 July 1725: Meine Seele erhebt den Herrn, BDW 01672 – Magnificat paraphrase by Maria Aurora von Königsmarck.[27]
  • Trinity VI, 8 July 1725: Wer sich rächet, an dem wird sich der Herr wieder rächen, BDW 01670 – text from Neumeister's 1711 cycle.[31]

The musical settings of these librettos as performed in Leipzig on these days have not been recovered. A Trinity VII cantata, only known by its title,[32] is presumed to have been the cantata for the next Sunday,

It is not certain Bach composed any of the cantatas from Trinity III to Trinity VII 1725. Georg Philipp Telemann has been suggested as their possible composer: he had set all cantata librettos of Neumeister's 1711 cycle, and for the Trinity VII cantata there are two known Telemann cantatas that have the same title (TWV 1:617 and 616).[4][25]

Trinity IX to Trinity XIII 1725 edit

 
Frontispiece of Picander's Ernst-Schertzhaffte und Satyrische Gedichte, Vol. 3, published in 1732, which on pp. 108–110 contains a reprint of the reworked version of the libretto of cantata BWV 84

The ninth Sunday after Trinity is the first occasion with an extant new cantata by J. S. Bach after Trinity 1725:

The next extant cantata is for the 12th Sunday after Trinity:

The next Sunday Bach sets again a text by Franck:

Picander edit

See also: Picander cycle of 1728–29 § Before June 1728

The sacred cantata for the next occasion, Council Election (Ratswahl), does not belong to any cycle. Its libretto was published in 1725:

In this period Bach relied on Picander for the librettos of several of his secular cantatas, but also for a few more church cantatas:

Other early versions of librettos that were adopted by Picander in his 1728–29 cycle may have been set by Bach in 1727. Recent recovery of a copy of Birkmann's 1728 libretto cycle seems to suggest Welt, behalte du das Deine and Ich kann mich besser nicht versorgen for the first and the second Sunday after Easter respectively.[27]

Lehms' cycle of 1711 edit

 
Georg Christian Lehms (1715)

A cantata with a libretto from a cycle by Georg Christian Lehms, published as Gottgefälliges Kirchen-Opffer in 1711, may have been presented on the 15th Sunday after Trinity 1725:[37]

  • Trinity XV, 9 September 1725: Liebster Gott, vergißt du mich, BWV Anh. 209? – Music lost. In Lehms' cycle the cantata text was assigned to Trinity VII. However, since Birkmann published the cantata libretto for Trinity XV, that Sunday of 1725 is the more likely date of the cantata's first performance. Later the cantata was combined with BWV 157 for a funeral cantata performed in Pomßen (6 February 1727, see above).[27]

From Christmas 1725 to the second Sunday after Trinity 1726 Bach drew most of his cantata librettos from Lehms' 1711 libretto cycle:[4]

In the Post Trinitatem season of 1726 there are two further cantatas from Lehms' 1711 cycle:[4]

Other cantatas between Council Election 1725 and Purification 1726 edit

 
Ernst Ludwig I, Duke of Saxe-Meiningen, c.1710

Trinity XVII may have seen the performance of another cantata on a libretto by Franck:[27]

  • Trinity XVII, 23 September 1725: Seht, so ist die falsche Welt

From Council Election to the Christmas season of 1725 there is only one further cantata extant:

The cantata for the Sunday between Christmas 1725 and New Year 1726 has a libretto drawn from Erdman Neumeister's fourth cycle:[4]

The cantata for the third Sunday after Epiphany 1726 has a libretto from Salomon Franck's Evangelisches Andachts=Opffer:[33][4]

Libretto cycle published in Meiningen edit

 
Johann Ludwig Bach

In 1704 a cycle of cantata texts was published anonymously in Meiningen, under the title Sonn- und Fest-Andachten. Its third edition appeared under the title Sonntags- Und Fest-Andachten in 1719. Bach scholars have suggested that Ernst Ludwig I, Duke of Saxe-Meiningen, Johann Ludwig Bach's employer, might have been the author of these librettos. The librettos follow a strict format, in two variants. The short form applies to most of the cantatas:[4][28]

The build is symmetrical around the central New Testament section. The long form has a strophic poem instead of the Aria and Recitative after the New Testament section. When the cantata is split in two parts, as was customary in Leipzig, the split was usually after the third item, so that both parts started with a prose dictum (all other sections being versified). The 18 cantatas by Johann Ludwig Bach that were performed in Leipzig from Purification to Trinity XIII 1726 had a libretto from this cycle, as well as seven of the cantatas composed by Johann Sebastian Bach which were presented for the first time from Ascension to Trinity XIV 1726. Six of the extant cantatas of the latter used the short form, only the first one, for Ascension, has a libretto in the long form.[4]

Further cantatas with a libretto from the Meiningen cycle may have been presented in Leipzig in 1726, for instance on the fourth and the ninth Sundays after Trinity.[27] In chronological order:

For cantatas not belonging to the Meiningen libretto cycle, performed on the sixth and twelfth Sunday after Trinity 1726, see above in the section on Lehms' cycle of 1711. J. S. Bach's cantata for Trinity VI (with Lehms' libretto) was a short solo cantata. J. L. Bach's cantata for the same day, on a Meiningen libretto, required a chorus only for its last movement. Probably this cantata wasn't split: one of the two cantatas for this Sunday in 1726 was sung as part I, and the other as part II.

The oldest extant cantata of the third cycle was composed for the ninth Sunday after Trinity 1725 The third cycle cantata for the first Sunday after Trinity was only composed in 1726 The cycle extends over several years 2 The cantatas from 1727 have however also been termed as between the third and the fourth cycles 3 There are 35 extant cantatas of the third cantata cycle for a period with around 170 occasions For about half of the other occasions a few new chorale cantatas by Bach retrospectively added to the chorale cantata cycle restagings of older compositions or presentations of works by other composers are known Bach had acquired a cycle of cantatas by his second cousin Johann Ludwig Bach of Meiningen 4 Together with his assistants he provided performance material for at least 18 of

du segnest mich denn BWV 157 6 February 1727 in Pomssen near Leipzig in that funeral service BWV 157 was combined with BWV Anh 209 as two parts of a funeral cantata Also the funeral motet Furchte dich nicht BWV 228 was performed in this period Chorale cantata with unknown liturgical function composed between 1728 and 1731 Sei Lob und Ehr dem hochsten Gut BWV 117 Also the motet for New Year Singet dem Herrn ein neues Lied BWV 225 would have been first performed in this period Librettos editThis section needs expansion You can help by adding to it August 2016 nbsp Johannes Agricola The librettos of the church cantatas presented for the first time in Leipzig during Bach s third to fifth year in that city have a diverse origin 4 The most substantial group of librettos with a similar structure derives from a 1704 cycle of cantata texts printed in Meiningen which was used for most of the cantatas presented in the liturgical year 1725 26 28 In 1728 many of the librettos of cantatas associated with Bach s third to fifth year in Leipzig were grouped in a single publication by Christoph Birkmann 27 29 Trinity III to Trinity VII 1725 edit nbsp Erdmann Neumeister A booklet printed in 1725 with the cantata texts from Trinity III to Trinity VI was recovered in 1971 30 The period covered by the booklet included the feasts of St John and Visitation Trinity III 17 June 1725 Ich ruf zu dir Herr Jesu Christ BDW 01669 the text is Johannes Agricola s 16th century hymn with the same name In 1732 Bach composed a per omnes versus chorale cantata with exactly the same text Ich ruf zu dir Herr Jesu Christ BWV 177 for Trinity IV a cantata that was added to the chorale cantata cycle Possibly BDW 1669 was an early version of that cantata 27 St John s Day 24 June 1725 coinciding with the fourth Sunday after Trinity Gelobet sei der Herr BDW 01673 a text by Erdmann Neumeister from a libretto cycle published in 1711 31 Trinity V 1 July 1725 Der Segen des Herrn machet reich ohne Muhe BDW 11069

an dem wird sich der Herr wieder rachen BDW 01670 text from Neumeister s 1711 cycle 31 The musical settings of these librettos as performed in Leipzig on these days have not been recovered A Trinity VII cantata only known by its title 32 is presumed to have been the cantata for the next Sunday Trinity VII 15 July 1725 Gesegnet ist die Zuversicht BWV Anh 1 It is not certain Bach composed any of the cantatas from Trinity III to Trinity VII 1725 Georg Philipp Telemann has been suggested as their possible composer he had set all cantata librettos of Neumeister s 1711 cycle and for the Trinity VII cantata there are two known Telemann cantatas that have the same title TWV 1 617 and 616 4 25 Trinity IX to Trinity XIII 1725 edit nbsp Frontispiece of Picander s Ernst Schertzhaffte und Satyrische Gedichte Vol 3 published in 1732 which on pp 108 110 contains a reprint of the reworked version of the libretto of cantata BWV 84 The ninth Sunday after Trinity is the first occasion with an extant new cantata by J S Bach after Trinity 1725 Trinity IX 29 July 1725 Tue Rechnung Donnerwort BWV 168 on a libretto by Salomon Franck The next extant cantata is for the 12th Sunday after Trinity Trinity XII 19 August 1725 Lobe den Herren den machtigen Konig der Ehren BWV 137 is a chorale cantata with a libretto consisting of five unmodified stanzas of a 17th century hymn known in English as Praise to the Lord the Almighty by Joachim Neander The cantata was added to the chorale cantata cycle there is no other extant Trinity XII cantata in the chorale cantata format by Bach The next Sunday Bach sets again a text by Franck Trinity XIII 26 August 1725 Ihr die ihr euch von Christo nennet BWV 164 from Evangelisches Andachts Opffer 1715 33 Picander edit See also Picander cycle of

Wunschet Jerusalem Gluck BWV Anh 4 text by Picander music lost In this period Bach relied on Picander for the librettos of several of his secular cantatas but also for a few more church cantatas Michaelmas 29 September 1726 Es erhub sich ein Streit BWV 19 text heavily reworked from Picander s 1724 25 cantata cycle 34 Funeral in Pomssen 6 February 1727 Ich lasse dich nicht du segnest mich denn BWV 157 libretto published by Picander in 1727 35 Septuagesima third Sunday before lent 9 February 1727 Ich bin vergnugt mit meinem Glucke BWV 84 A reworked version of the libretto of this cantata was published by Picander in his 1728 29 cantata cycle as Ich bin vergnugt mit meinem Stande for performance on Septuagesima 13 February 1729 36 Bach did however not seem to have considered his 1727 Septuagesima cantata as a part of the later cycle 4 Other early versions of librettos that were adopted by Picander in his 1728 29 cycle may have been set by Bach in 1727 Recent recovery of a copy of Birkmann s 1728 libretto cycle seems to suggest Welt behalte du das Deine and Ich kann mich besser nicht versorgen for the first and the second Sunday after Easter respectively 27 Lehms cycle of 1711 edit nbsp Georg Christian Lehms 1715 A cantata with a libretto from a cycle by Georg Christian Lehms published as Gottgefalliges Kirchen Opffer in 1711 may have been presented on the 15th Sunday after Trinity 1725 37 Trinity XV 9 September 1725 Liebster Gott vergisst du mich BWV Anh 209 Music lost In Lehms cycle the cantata text was assigned to Trinity VII However since Birkmann published the cantata libretto for Trinity XV that Sunday of 1725 is the more likely date of the cantata s first performance Later the cantata was combined with BWV 157 for a funeral cantata performed in Pomssen 6 February 1727 see above 27 From Christmas 1725 to the second Sunday after Trinity 1726 Bach drew most of his cantata librettos from Lehms 1711 libretto cycle 4 Christmas 25 December 1725 Unser Mund

Year 1726 has a libretto drawn from Erdman Neumeister s fourth cycle 4 Christmas I 30 December 1725 Gottlob nun geht das Jahr zu Ende BWV 28 The cantata for the third Sunday after Epiphany 1726 has a libretto from Salomon Franck s Evangelisches Andachts Opffer 33 4 Epiphany III 27 January 1726 Alles nur nach Gottes Willen BWV 72 Libretto cycle published in Meiningen edit nbsp Johann Ludwig Bach In 1704 a cycle of cantata texts was published anonymously in Meiningen under the title Sonn und Fest Andachten Its third edition appeared under the title Sonntags Und Fest Andachten in 1719 Bach scholars have suggested that Ernst Ludwig I Duke of Saxe Meiningen Johann Ludwig Bach s employer might have been the author of these librettos The librettos follow a strict format in two variants The short form applies to most of the cantatas 4 28 Biblical text from the Old Testament OT Recitative Aria Biblical text from the New Testament NT Aria Recitative Chorale one or more stanzas from a Lutheran hymn The build is symmetrical around the central New Testament section The long form has a strophic poem instead of the Aria and Recitative after the New Testament section When the cantata is split in two parts as was customary in Leipzig the split was usually after the third item so that both parts started with a prose dictum all other sections being versified The 18 cantatas by Johann Ludwig Bach that were performed in Leipzig from Purification to Trinity XIII 1726 had a libretto from this cycle as well as seven of the cantatas composed by Johann Sebastian Bach which were presented for the first time from Ascension to Trinity XIV 1726 Six of the extant cantatas of the latter used the short form only the first one for Ascension has a libretto in the long form 4 Further cantatas with a libretto from the Meiningen cycle may have been presented in Leipzig in 1726 for instance on the fourth and the ninth Sundays after Trinity 27 In chronological order Purification 2 February
