This is the final episode introducing Bach’s cantata cycle of 1724. In the first four cantatas of the cycle, we heard how Bach used Lutheran hymnal melodies as cantus firmi in different voice parts in each opening movement (sopranos, followed by altos, followed by tenors, followed by basses.)Here, the next two cantatas see less predictable treatments of the old melodies. Bach evidently valued these two cantatas, as later in life he arranged single movements from both BWV 10 and BWV 93 into his publication of organ music known as the “Schübler Chorales.” Pieces heard:BWV 10, Meine Seel erhebt den Herren (Full Performance of the cantata)BWV 648, Meine Seel erhebt den Herren (Organ version)BWV 93, Wer nur den lieben Gott lässt waltenCheck out WTF Bach’s Youtube!New videos to start appearing soon.Your Support Is What Keeps Us Alive!https://www.paypal.me/wtfbachhttps://venmo.com/wtfbachhttps://cash.app/$wtfbachCheck this playlist:I mentioned this playlist in the episode: all the cantatas in the 1724 cycle.
