Gottlob! nun geht das Jahr zu Ende
BWV 28
Church cantata by J. S. Bach
Thomaskirche, Leipzig 1885
Occasion1st Sunday after Christmas
Performed30 December 1725 (1725-12-30): Leipzig

Gottlob! nun geht das Jahr zu Ende (Praise God! The year now draws to a close), BWV 28,[a] is a church cantata by Johann Sebastian Bach for the Sunday after Christmas. He first performed it on 30 December 1725.

History and text

[edit]

Bach composed the cantata in his third year as Thomaskantor in Leipzig for the Sunday after Christmas. The prescribed readings for the Sunday were from the Epistle to the Galatians, through Christ we are free from the law (Galatians 4:1–7), and from the Gospel of Luke, Simeon and Anna talking to Mary (Luke 2:33–40).[1]

The cantata text is by Erdmann Neumeister:[2] he included in the second movement the first stanza of Johann Gramann's hymn "Nun lob, mein Seel, den Herren" (1530),[2] a Bible quotation (Jeremiah 32:41) in the third movement, and a hymn stanza by Paul Eber for the closing chorale.[2][3] The chorale theme "Helft mir Gotts Güte preisen" (Zahn 5267) is of unknown authorship. The poet did not refer to the Bible readings for the day but portrayed thanks for the past year and prayers for preservation in the new year.[4]

Bach first performed the cantata on 30 December 1725.[2]

Structure and scoring

[edit]

Bach structured the cantata in six movements, scored for four vocal soloists (soprano, alto, tenor, bass) and four-part choir, and an Baroque instrumental ensemble of cornetto, three trombones, two oboes, taille, two violins, viola and continuo.[2][5]

Music

[edit]

The cantata opens with an oboe trio playing an Italianate ritornello of four phrases, accompanied by the strings; the roles of the two choirs are later reversed. The soprano sings a virtuosic and melismatic aria commanding the listener to praise God.[6][7]

The following chorale expands the command from the individual to the collective, adopting an "archaic" motet form. It is reminiscent of the movements which opened most of Bach's chorale cantatas, composed as a cycle the previous year. The cantus firmus is sung in long notes by the soprano while the lower voices add "skilful imitatory texture, partly from new themes and partly from ideas derived from the chorale line in question", as Klaus Hofmann notes.[4] The instruments play colla parte in motet style with the voices, doubled by a quartet of cornetto and trombones.[4] The music in stile antico was performed at the end of John Eliot Gardiner's Bach Cantata Pilgrimage in 2000, who described its "sobriety and complexity, its buried treasures and subtleties, especially those that occur in its last fifty bars, in which you sense some immense cosmic struggle being played out".[8]

The third movement, a bass arioso, repeats the ascending scalar motif of the chorus. The tenor recitative is accompanied by sustained chordal strings and concludes on a major harmony. The continuo opens the duet aria with a two-part ritornello – dancing eighth notes followed by fast arpeggiated figures – that is repeated three more times during this movement. The vocal lines sing three blocks of imitative motivic entries.[6] In the style of Italian chamber duets, the voices first render a thought in imitation, "coming together each time for a concluding cadence".[4]

The cantata concludes with a four-part chorale in A minor.[6] Gardiner, who had conducted several versions during the Pilgrimage, notes the moving power of this harmonisation of the "prayer for protection and sustenance in the year to come".[8]

for fun

That was a riot. I loved "...es sei zwar ein Zeichen christlicher Nächstenliebe, die Sowjets vor ihren eigenen Bomben zu schützen, doch müsse man die Reaktion der amerikanischen Öffentlichkeit abwarten" and "Ein besonders alter Adel ist es nicht, und ein besonders guter Diplomat ist er auch nicht, aber er ist wenigstens katholisch und ein guter Bayer." I'll have to look at the rest later. No time at the moment.
