J.S. Bach: Meinen Jesum lass ich nicht, BWV 124 - The Church Cantatas, Vol. 171

BWV124 (7 January 1725) is based on the hymn `Meinem Jesum lass ich nicht’, which is heard only in the first and last number, the other verses being paraphrased in recitatives and arias. The chorus has a fine oboe part, the treatment of the chorale is fairly straightforward, the sopranos singing the tune with the other voices supporting; when they sing `kleben’ on a long note the opening orchestral motives are heard once more. After a recitative the tenor sings a strong, rhythmic aria, followed by a bass recitative and then a soprano/alto duet in which the music is expressive of the hurry of the heart away from the world, heavenward. The cantata finishes with a splendidly harmonized chorale.
