BWV71, written for the Town Council inauguration of 4 February 1708 in Mühlhausen may well be the earliest cantata we have of Bach, and at the same time it is the only one that was printed in his lifetime. (A second Ratwechsel cantata was also printed on the order of the Town Council, but all copies are lost.) The opening chorus presents its message right at the start: God is my King. It is supported by regal trumpet blasts, but other instrumental groups (called choirs by Bach) are brought in too. There is a continuous exchange between full forces and solo passages; a little recorder motive makes for a humorous ending. A quiet soprano/tenor duet combines a verse from II Samuel 19 with a stanza from the chorale `O Gott, du frommer Gott’, both dealing with old age, a reference to the elder statesmen leaving the Town Council. A second chorus follows, a fugue in the old style with continuo only. A bass arioso sings about the fact that day and night are God’s, and that God also has set the borders to each land; there are truly beautiful lines for flutes and oboes, sometimes apart, sometimes together. An alto aria with trumpet fanfares brings us to the crowning glory of this cantata, the superb `doves chorus’. The text (from Psalm 74) speaks of turtle doves and the singing of these doves characterises the piece. It is as if this intense slow movement will never stop, but after a moving unisono phrase it finally does. The final chorus is full of joy and excitement, interrupted by quiet passages, ending in a great fugue with long runs on `freuen’, before the opening is repeated.

Lebhafte und wunderschöne Interpretation dieser fein komponierten Kirchenkantate mit gut harmonisierten Stimmen des ausgezeichneten Chors und herrlichen Stimmen vierer genialen Solisten sowie gut vereinigten und perfekt entsprechenden Tönen aller Originalinstrumente. Der intelligente und erfahrene Dirigent leitet das ausgezeichnete Barockensemble im veränderlichen Tempo und mit künstlerisch kontrollierter Dynamik. Danke für die Sonntagsfreude wie immer!
