Шаблон:Good article Шаблон:Use shortened footnotes Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox Bach composition Шаблон:Lang (Fall with thanks, fall with praise),Шаблон:Sfn BWV 248IV (also written as BWV 248 IV),Шаблон:Sfn is a Christmas cantata by Johann Sebastian Bach, composed in 1734 as PartШаблон:NbspIV of his six-part Christmas Oratorio. Each part of the oratorio is a cantata, written for performance on one of the feast days of the Christmas period. Fallt mit Danken, fallt mit Loben is meant for the New Year's Day feast of the circumcision and naming of Jesus. Based on a libretto by an unknown author, it tells the naming of Jesus from the Nativity of Jesus, according to the Gospel of Luke.
Bach structured the cantata in seven movements, and scored it for three vocal soloists, a four-part choir, and a festive Baroque orchestra with horns, oboes and strings. The opening chorus and the two arias are based on his earlier secular cantata Шаблон:Lang, composed for the 11th birthday of the crown prince of Saxony on 5Шаблон:NbspSeptember 1733.
The tenor soloist, in the role of the Evangelist,Шаблон:Efn-ua narrates the Biblical verse in recitative style. The choir sings the elaborate opening movement and the closing chorale, a four-part setting of a stanza from Johann Rist's "Hilf, Herr Jesu, laß gelingen". Four solo movements reflect the name of Jesus, and life for him. Bach led the first performances at the two main churches of Leipzig in a morning service and a vespers service on 1Шаблон:NbspJanuary 1735. Шаблон:TOC limit
Background and text
Шаблон:See also Bach composed Шаблон:Lang in 1734, eleven years after he became Thomaskantor in Leipzig, director of music in major churches in the town in the Electorate of Saxony. The cantata forms Part IV of his Christmas Oratorio which was performed on six occasions of Christmastide, beginning with Part I on Christmas Day:Шаблон:Sfn
- Part I, Jauchzet, frohlocket!, for Christmas Day (25 December): Nativity of Jesus
- Part II for the Second Day of Christmas (26 December): Annunciation to the shepherds, Glory to God, peace on earth
- Part III for the Third Day of Christmas (27 December): Adoration of the shepherds
- Part IV, Fallt mit Danken, fallt mit Loben, for New Year's Day (1 January): Naming of Jesus
- Part V for the Sunday after New Year's Day: Biblical Magi
- Part VI for Epiphany (6 January): Adoration of the Magi
The prescribed readings for the feast day were "by faith we inherit" from the Epistle to the Galatians (Шаблон:Sourcetext), and from the Gospel of Luke, the ritual circumcision and naming of Jesus eight days after his birth (Шаблон:Sourcetext).Шаблон:Sfn
The librettist of the text is unknown; scholars debate whether he was Picander, who had collaborated with Bach before.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn After an opening chorus, the Evangelist narrates the short gospel about the naming of Jesus from the Gospel of Luke. It is reflected in the following movements, recitative and arias. Bach structured the work in nine movements, and scored it for four vocal parts and a festive Baroque orchestra with two natural horns, oboes and strings. Several movements rely on music which he had composed earlier, from the secular cantata Шаблон:Lang (Let us take care, let us watch over), a dramma per musica describing the story of "Hercules at the Crossroads", written for 11th birthday of Crown Prince Friedrich Christian of Saxony and first performed on 5 September 1733.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn
The tenor soloist narrates the verse from Martin Luther's translation of the Bible in recitative as the Evangelist (Шаблон:Sourcetext). Bach incorporates two chorales, two stanzas from "Jesu, du mein liebstes Leben" by Johann Rist for a soprano complement to bass recitatives, and the 15th stanza of the same hymnist's "Hilf, Herr Jesu, laß gelingen" which the choir sings in a four-part setting with independent orchestra.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn
Bach led the first performance at the Nikolaikirche with the Thomanerchor in a morning service on New Year's Day 1735, repeated in a vespers service at the Thomaskirche the same day.Шаблон:Sfn
Music
Scoring and structure
The cantata is structured in seven movements:Шаблон:Sfn it opens with an extended choral movement that expresses the call to fall down with thanks and praise, followed by a brief recitative that provides the account from the Luther Bible of the naming of Jesus on the day of his circumcision. Four movements then reflect on the name of Jesus in meditation and prayer,Шаблон:Sfn and the composition is closed with an affirming chorale.Шаблон:Sfn
The work features three vocal soloists, a four-part choir (Шаблон:Abbr) and a Baroque instrumental ensemble of two natural horns (Co), two oboes (Ob), two violins (Vl), viola (Va) and basso continuo.Шаблон:Sfn Other sections of the Christmas Oratorio (such as Jauchzet, frohlocket, the opening chorus of Part I, and in Part VI both the opening chorus, Herr, wenn die stolzen Feinde schnauben, and the closing chorale fantasia, Nun seid ihr wohl gerochen) have a brighter feel than Fallt mit Danken, fallt mit Loben. Its music, in F major, is dominated by two horns and has a more intimate character than the sections with bright trumpets which precede and follow it. Alfred Dürr gives the duration as 27 minutes.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn
In the following table, the movement numbers of the Christmas Oratorio are added in brackets. The scoring follows the Шаблон:Lang (New Bach Edition). The keys and time signatures are from Dürr, and use the symbol for common time.Шаблон:Sfn No key is shown for the recitatives, because they modulate. The continuo, played throughout, is also not shown.
