J.S. Bach: The Church Cantatas, Vol. 19: Herr deine Augen sehen nach dem Glauben, BWV 102

Cantata 102 `Herr, deine Augen sehen nach dem Glauben’ was composed for the 10th Sunday after Trinity, 25 August 1726. It consists of two sections and seven movements, four in the first section and three in the second. The work opens with one of Bach’s very finest choral movements, choir and orchestra alternating in a most ingenious manner: the orchestra introduces and rounds off the phrases sung by the choir, while the two oboes go their own way. Note the realistic staccato notes in the choir at the words ‘Du schlägest sie...’. After a bass recitative a moving alto aria in F Minor (No. 3) follows, ‘Weh der Seele, die den Schaden nicht mehr kennt’, a slow and sorrowful dialogue between the voice and a concertato oboe, full of sighing motifs and poignant dissonances. A greater contrast with the succeeding bass aria is hardly conceivable: here a most lively and dancelike 3/8 movement (Vivace) concludes the first section of the cantata before the sermon. A disquieting tenor aria (No. 5) follows after the sermon, ‘Erschrecke doch, du allzu sichere Seele’, where shock is expressed in a panicky and difficult tenor part and a similarly agile flute part.
