  • Academy Baroque Orchestra: Bach at Royal Academy of Music

    Classical Music

    25 Mar 2012

    JS Bach Nimm von uns, Herr, du treuer Gott, BWV 101 (Take from us, Lord, Thou faithful God); O Ewigkeit, du Donnerwort, BWV 20 (O eternity, O word of thunder). Bach first performed his ‘Nimm von uns, Herr, du treuer Gott’ at Leipzig on the tenth Sunday after Trinity in 1724. Its text is based on a hymn by Martin Moller. The hymn’s associated melody, ‘Vater unser im Himmelreich’ features in all but the second of the work’s seven movements. The prevailing mood of the cantata is one of austerity and this is established in its powerful, motet-like opening chorale fantasia, richly scored for trombones, cornett, flute, two oboes, oboe da caccia, strings and basso continuo. With his performance at Leipzig in 1724 of ‘O Ewigkeit, du Donnerwort’ Bach inaugurated his impressive and original cycle of chorale-based cantatas. The librettist based his text on Johann Rist’s seventeenth-century hymn from whose imposing first line the cantata takes its name. Justice, repentance and the implications of eternity are the central tenets of this spaciously laid out work. Bach’s declamatory opening chorale fantasia is cast in the form of a French overture in which the voices take part both in the characteristic introductory and concluding ‘Grave’ and in the centrally placed, fugal ‘Vivace’. Later on Bach vividly illustrates the Last Judgement with ringing trumpet calls.
