Misc. Comments

For the 1708 Council Election at Mühlhausen.
As it was traditional for the election cantatas at Mühlhausen to be published, this is the music of the earliest publication of Bach's music.

Section Listing

  1. Tutti: Gott ist mein König. Bach here divides the ensemble into five parts to make a highly variegated and heterogeneous sound. The movement is highly festive. D Major
  2. Air (Soprano, Tenor): Ich bin nun achtzig Jahr. The organ here provides some obbligato. f minor
  3. Fuga: Dein Alter sei wie deine Jugend. A very early permutation fugue of Bach's. b minor
  4. Arioso (Bass): Tag und Nacht ist dein. A da capo aria; however, the music sounds more like Schütz than later Bach. G Major
  5. Air (Alto) : Durch mächtige Kraft. A brief solo with plentiful interjections from the trumpets. D Major
  6. [Chorus]: Du wollest dem Feinde nicht geben. The bassoon has an interestingly independent line here. The ending of this movement in particular is notable. D minor
  7. Tutti: Das neue Regiment. A motet-like, festive final chorus. D Major
