Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox Bach composition Шаблон:Lang (You Shepherd of Israel, hear),[1] [[Bach-Werke-Verzeichnis|Шаблон:Abbr]]Шаблон:Nbsp104, is a church cantata by Johann Sebastian Bach. He composed it for the second Sunday after Easter in Leipzig and first performed it on 23 April 1724.

History and words

Bach composed the cantata in his first annual cycle in Leipzig for the second Sunday after Easter, called Шаблон:Lang. The prescribed readings for that Sunday were from the First Epistle of Peter, Christ as a model (Шаблон:Sourcetext), and from the Gospel of John, the Good Shepherd (Шаблон:Sourcetext).[2] The unknown poet begins with Шаблон:Sourcetext and ends with Cornelius Becker's hymn "Шаблон:Lang", a paraphrase of Psalm 23 (1598). The poet refers in his work to more Bible context, such as Шаблон:Sourcetext and Шаблон:Sourcetext for the first recitative, reflecting that God as the Good Shepherd will take care. In the second recitative, he concludes: "Only gather, o good Shepherd, us poor and erring ones; ah, let our journey soon reach an end and lead us into your sheepfold!" The last aria hopes "for faith's reward after a gentle sleep of death" (Шаблон:Sourcetext, des Glaubens Lohn nach einem sanften Todesschlafe), combining the Baroque ideas of pastoral peace and longing for death.[2]

Bach first performed the cantata on 23 April 1724.[2]

Scoring and structure

The cantata in six movements is scored for tenor and bass soloists, a four-part choir, two oboes (No.s 1 & 6), two oboes d'amore (No.s 3 & 5), taille (tenor oboe), two violins, viola and basso continuo.[3]

Music

Bach referred to the pastoral aspect of the text in his music. In the opening chorus, three oboes on the firm ground of extended pedal point create pastoral sounds, in triplets which are frequently associated with shepherds,[4] such as in the Sinfonia opening Part II of Bach's Christmas Oratorio. The choir sings alternating homophonic calls, "höre!" (listen!) and "erscheine!" (appear!), and two fugues on the image of Joseph leading his flocks. The fugue subject is the same in both fugues, but the second time the voices enter from the lowest voice to the highest, culminating in an ultimate third section of the calls. Different from the normal setting, the instrumental introduction is not repeated after this climax.[5]

The first recitative leads to an arioso part on the final Bible quotation "Шаблон:Lang" (God is faithful).[1] The tenor aria is accompanied by two oboes d'amore. In the bass aria, instrumentation, triplets and extended pedal points are reminiscent of the opening chorus. The closing choral is a four-part setting on the tune of "Шаблон:Lang".[2]
