J.S. Bach: Du Friedefürst, Herr Jesu Christ, BWV 116 - The Church Cantatas, Vol. 168

Cantata 116 `Du Friedefürst, Herr Jesu Christ’ was written for the 25th Sunday after Trinity, 26 November 1724. The opening movement is composed in Bach’s favourite manner: an independent instrumental section in which the chorale melody is interwoven line by line. A poignant aria in F sharp minor follows (No.2), the alto and oboe d’amore complaining at the text ‘Ach, unaussprechlich ist die Not...’. In the subsequent recitative Bach makes subtle reference to the chorale melody in the introductory bass line. The work closes with a simple, accompanied chorale. Composer: Johann Sebastian Bach Artists: Netherlands Bach Collegium, Pieter Jan Leusink (conductor), Holland Boys Choir, Sytse Buwalda (Alto), Knut Schoch (Tenore), Ruth Holton (Soprano) & Bas Ramselaar (Basso) 🎵Online purchase or streaming (Spotify, iTunes, Amazon Music, Deezer): 🎬🎮 These tracks are available for sync licensing in videos, films, tv-shows, games, advertising and more.
