About the album

Whitsun Cantatas
In Lutheran Germany of Bach’s time the Whitsun or Pentecost festival was celebrated like other high ecclesiastical feasts on three consecutive days, Sunday through Tuesday. Music was performed in the services on all three feast days and Bach usually wrote cantatas for each of them. Extant are for Whit Sunday the cantatas “Erschallet, ihr Lieder” BWV 172 (Weimar and Leipzig versions), “Wer mich liebet, der wird mein Wort halten” BWV 59 and 74 (two different settings), and “O ewiges Feuer, o Ursprung der Liebe” BWV 34; for Whit Monday the cantatas “ Erhöhtes Fleisch und Blut” BWV 173, “Also hat Gott die Welt geliebt” BWV 68, and “Ich liebe den Höchsten von ganzem Gemüte” BWV 174; and for Whit Tuesday “Erwünschtes Freudenlicht” BWV 184 and ”Er rufet seinen Schafen mit Namen” BWV 175. Of these nine Whitsun cantatas, the present album presents a representative cross-section: BWV 172 for the Sunday and then BWV 68 and BWV 174, respectively, for the Second Day of Pentecost, and BWV 175 for the Third Day. As is typical for works to be performed on the high feasts, they invariably display a rich instrumental configuration: BWV 172 includes trumpets and timpani; BWV 68 makes use of 3 oboes, violoncello piccolo, and supporting cornetto and trombones; and BWV 174 features 2 horns, 3 oboes, along with an unusual complement of nine concertato strings.

The traditional gospel lessons for Whit Sunday are John 14: 23-31 (descent of the Holy Spirit upon the apostles) and for Whit Monday John 3: 16- 21 (“God so loved the world”). The cantata texts chosen by Bach relate closely to these liturgical readings prescribed for the church year, for in the Lutheran worship service the cantata was generally understood as a musical complement to the preached sermon and, therefore, pursues the same topical contents.

The cantata “Erschallet, ihr Lieder” BWV 172 for the First Day of Pentecost was originally composed in Weimar and probably first performed there in 1714, but re-performed in Köthen as well as in Leipzig. Bach made some revisions for the 1724 performance in Leipzig and adapted the earlier work to the conditions of a much larger performing space. The text of the cantata, possibly by the Weimar court poet Salomon Franck, consists primarily of free poetry but includes a passage from the Whit Sunday gospel (John 14: 23) in the second movement and a strophe from Philipp Nicolai’s hymn “Wie schön leuchtet der Morgenstern (1599).

The cantata “Also hat Gott die Welt geliebt” BWV 68 for the Second Day of Pentecost was composed and first performed in 1725. Its text was authored by Mariane von Ziegler, who used a hymn stanza by Salomo Liscow (1675) for the first movement. The fifth movement draws on John 3: 18 from the scriptural reading for the feast day, to which the hymn also refers. The instrumental forces of the cantata include three oboes, violoncello piccolo, strings, and continuo, but also cornetto and three trombones in support of the choral voices. Here Bach had to take into consideration the severe demands made on his singers during the high church feasts with their multiple performances at three different Churches, regularly at the two main churches of St. Thomas’s and St. Nicholas’s as well as at St. Paul’s, the university church on the First Day of Christmas, Easter, and Pentecost as well as St. Michael’s Day. In BWV 68 the soprano and bass arias, movements 2 and 4, are lavish reworkings of arias from the Weimar Hunting Cantata BWV 208 of 1713.

The cantata “Ich liebe den Höchsten von ganzem Gemüte” BWV 174 was composed for the Second Day of Pentecost in 1729 and—a rare phenomenon—shows that date in Bach’s autograph score. Its text is taken from the volume of cantata poetry (1728) by Christian Friedrich Henrici (‘Picander’) and refers closely to the gospel of the day, which also affects the choice of the concluding hymn strophe by Martin Schalling (1571). The cantata shows a magnificent and varied instrumental scoring, making use of two horns, three oboes, strings, and continuo. Apparently the ensemble at Bach’s disposal was for the occasion reinforced by members of the Collegium musicum, of which Bach had recently (in May, 1729) become the director. However, the essentially soloistic vocal complement with alto, tenor and bass (the choir is used only at the very end) indicates — as in BWV 68, above — Bach’s desire to reduce the demands on the choir for the second and third of the three feast days. By way of inaugurating his collaboration with the Collegium musicum, Bach began his cantata with a splendid sinfonia. Here he arranged the opening movement from Brandenburg Concerto no. 3, a ten-voice string score, by adding five wind parts to the original ensemble of pure strings.

The cantata “Er rufet seinen Schafen mit Namen” BWV 175 for the Third Day of Pentecost was first performed on May 22, one day after the first performance of BWV 68 (see above). Not only these two works were composed side-by-side, but additionally also BWV 74 “Wer mich liebet, der wird mein Wort halten” for Whitsunday of 1725 (not included in this album)—indicative of both Bach’s productivity and the pressing church music schedule at certain times of the liturgical year. The text of BWV 175, like that of BWV 68 by the Leipzig poetess Mariane von Ziegler, makes use of two passages from the Gospel reading for the day, John 10:1-11 (Jesus as the Good Shepherd), for movements 1 and 5. Movement 7 presents the final strophe of the hymn “O Gottes Geist, mein Trost und Rat” by Johann Rist (1651). The rich instrumental scoring of the work includes not only trumpets and three recorders in the orchestra, but also a violoncello piccolo for the solo in aria no. 4, whose text refers to the “good shepherd.” Similarly, the instruments assigned by Bach to the other two arias also support individual sonorities and the expressive needs of the texts. Hence, the three recorders lend pastoral character to the alto aria no. 2 (“my shepherd, my friend”) and the two trumpets in the bass aria no. 6 underscore the victory of Jesus over Devil and death.

Een dwarsdoorsnede van de Pinkstercantates van Bach
In het protestantse Duitsland uit de tijd van Bach werd Pinksteren net als andere belangrijke kerkelijke feestdagen op drie opeenvolgende dagen gevierd, van zondag tot dinsdag. Tijdens de diensten op alle drie de feestdagen werd muziek uitgevoerd en Bach componeerde gewoonlijk cantates voor elk van deze dagen. De teksten van deze cantates sloten inhoudelijk aan bij de lezingen en preek van de feestdag. In de protestantse dienst werd de cantate immers algemeen opgevat als een muzikaal aanvulling op de lezingen, die om die reden dezelfde onderwerpen behandelt.

Het huidige album bevat met vier van de negen overgeleverde pinkstercantates een representatieve dwarsdoorsnede van deze categorie: Erschallet ihr Lieder BWV 172 voor de zondag, Also hat Gott die Welt geliebt BWV 68 en Ich liebe den Höchsten von ganzem Gemüte BWV 174 voor de maandag, en Er rufet seinen Schafen mit Namen BWV 175 voor de dinsdag.

In deze cantates wordt gebruik gemaakt van een rijke orkestbezetting, wat typerend is voor werken die uitgevoerd worden op feestdagen. BWV 172 bevat trompetten en pauken, BWV 68 maakt gebruik van drie hobo’s, een violoncello piccolo en een ondersteunende cornetto en trombones, en BWV 174 bevat twee hoorns en drie hobo’s naast een ongebruikelijke aanvulling van negen concertante strijkers. In BWV 175 worden enkele van de extra instrumenten gebruikt om de teksten van de aria’s muzikaal uit te drukken.
Im protestantischen Deutschland zur Zeit Bachs wurde Pfingsten an drei auf einander folgenden Tagen, Pfingstsonntag bis Pfingstdienstag, gefeiert. Von neun Pfingstkantaten Bachs enthält das vorliegende Album einen repräsentativen Querschnitt: Die Sonntagskantate BWV 172 und die beiden Montagskantaten BWV 68 und 174. Alle Werke verfügen über die für die Musik der Hochfeste typische reiche Orchesterbesetzung.

For its rare combination of textural clarity and interpretative flexibility, the Amsterdam Baroque Choir is considered among today’s most outstanding choirs. In 1994 Ton Koopman and the Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra & Choir embarked upon the most ambitious recording project of the last decades: the integral recording of Bach’s secular and sacred cantatas. For this extraordinary project Koopman and his ensemble received the Deutsche Schallplatten-Preis Echo Klassik. Next to the CD recordings three books have been edited and published by Ton Koopman and the musicologist Christoph Wolff and a series of six documentaries was produced and broadcasted by various TV stations.
Alongside Bach’s music the Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra & Choir has recorded all major baroque and classical works. Major recognitions include the Gramophone Award, Diapason d'Or, 10-Repertoire, Stern des Monats-Fono Forum, the Prix Hector Berlioz and two Edison Awards. In 2008 the ensemble and Ton Koopman have been honoured with the prestigious BBC Award. Since March 2003 “Antoine Marchand”, a new sub-label of Challenge Classics, took over the release of Koopman’s new recordings and among many others has published 22 CD boxes of the Bach Cantatas, a new recording of the St. Matthew Passion (on CD and DVD) and St. Markus Passion of J.S. Bach (DVD), live recorded in Milan, as well as the first seven volumes of the Buxtehude Opera-Omnia Edition. Ton Koopman and the ABO & ABC are regular guests at the major concert halls of Europe, the USA and Japan. In the 2008/09 season they will tour extensively in Europe (Amsterdam, Paris, Madrid, Vienna, Milan, Cologne, Dresden, Düsseldorf etc) and in Far East with concerts in Hong Kong, Seoul and Tokyo.

Johann Sebastian Bach

Johann Sebastian Bach was a German composer and musician of the Baroque period. He enriched established German styles through his skill in counterpoint, harmonic and motivic organisation, and the adaptation of rhythms, forms, and textures from abroad, particularly from Italy and France. Bach's compositions include the Brandenburg Concertos, the Goldberg Variations, the Mass in B minor, two Passions, and hundreds of cantatas. His music is revered for its technical command, artistic beauty, and intellectual depth.  Bach's abilities as an organist were highly respected during his lifetime, although he was not widely recognised as a great composer until a revival of interest in and performances of his music in the first half of the 19th century. He is now generally regarded as one of the greatest composers of all time.
