Wiener Sängerknaben(1971) - Cantate BWV 1(3th part).wmv No 4: Recitativo: 'Ein irdscher Glanz, ein leiblich Licht' (basse: Max van Egmond) No 5: Aria: 'Unser Mund und Ton der Saiten' (tenor: Kurt Equiluz) No 6: Choral: 'Wie bin ich doch so herzlich froh' Wie schön leuchtet der Morgenstern (How beautifully shines the morning star), BWV 1, is a sacred cantata composed by Johann Sebastian Bach. It was composed in Leipzig in 1725 for the Feast of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary, which occurs yearly on 25 March, and performed then for the first time. As the Feast usually falls in Lent, it is rarely celebrated with music, but 25 March 1725 was also Palm Sunday, for which Bach wrote this cantata. The prescribed readings for the day are Isaiah 7: 1016 and Luke 1: 2638. The text of the cantata comprises the words of the hymn published by Philipp Nicolai in 1599 in movements 1 and 6. Authorship of Verses 25 is unknown. The homonym chorale theme was codified by Nicolai, although research by CS Terry has shown the tune to predate Nicolai's publication by at least 61 years (Wikipedia) From: treblechoir99 Views: 294 8 ratings Time: 10:03 More in Entertainment
