He composed the chorale cantata in Leipzig for the sixth Sunday after Trinity between 1732 and 1735, based on the hymn "ドイツ語:Es ist das Heil uns kommen her" by Paul Speratus. Bach composed the cantata to fill a gap in his cycle of chorale cantatas written for performances in Leipzig from 1724. The cantata is structured in seven movements, framed as the earlier chorale cantatas by a chorale fantasia and a chorale four-part setting of the first and the twelfth stanza in the original words by the reformer Speratus, published in the First Lutheran Hymnal. The theme is salvation from sin by God's grace alone. An anonymous librettist paraphrased the content of ten inner stanzas to alternating recitatives and arias. Bach scored the cantata for a chamber ensemble of four vocal parts, flauto traverso, oboe d'amore, strings and continuo. He gave all three recitatives to the bass, like a sermon interrupted in reflection by a tenor aria with solo violin and a duet of soprano and alto with the wind instruments. == History and words == Bach composed the cantata for the Sixth Sunday after Trinity between 1732 and 1735. It filled a gap in his second annual cycle of chorale cantatas written for performance in Leipzig. In 1724, when he composed the cycle, he had an engagement in Köthen that Sunday, and therefore left the text for later completion.〔 The cantata is based on a hymn "ドイツ語:Es ist das Heil uns kommen her" by Paul Speratus, which was published in 1524 in the ''ドイツ語:Achtliederbuch'', the first Lutheran hymnal. The theme of the chorale is the Lutheran creed of salvation from sin by God's grace alone (justification by faith),〔 summarized in the first stanza: "Deeds can never help, ... faith beholds Jesus Christ, ... He has become the Intercessor".〔 The prescribed readings for the Sunday are from the Epistle to the Romans, "By Christ's death we are dead for sin" (), and from the Gospel of Matthew a passage from the Sermon on the Mount about better justice than the justice of merely observing laws and rules (). The 14-stanza hymn matches the topic of the gospel.〔 An unknown poet transformed the first 12 stanzas of the chorale to seven cantata movements. Dropping the last two stanzas, the librettist kept stanza 1 as the first and stanza 12 as the last movement, rephrased stanzas 2–4 to a recitative (2), stanzas 5–7 to a recitative (4), stanzas 9–11 to a third recitative (6).〔 Ideas from stanza 8 were made an aria (5), and movement 3 is not derived directly from the chorale, but intensifies the conclusion of the first recitative.〔〔 The three recitatives can be considered a sermon, according to Julian Mincham, who comments: "All three speak of God's Laws; their bestowal, their fulfillment (or lack of it) and our attitudes towards them", and who summarizes: "The three recitatives were clearly planned as a cognate group and encapsulate the fundamental Lutheran creed. The two intervening arias, and finally the chorale, reflect upon and extend their statements."〔 Christoph Wolff assumes that the text was written for Bach's 1724 cycle of chorale cantatas by the same librettist.〔 Bach had used selected stanzas of the hymn before, in 1716 stanza 12 to conclude ドイツ語:''Mein Gott, wie lang, ach lange?'' BWV 155, in 1723 both stanza 12 and 11 to conclude the two parts of ドイツ語:''Ärgre dich, o Seele, nicht'', BWV 186, and in 1724 stanza 11 to conclude ドイツ語:''Wahrlich, wahrlich, ich sage euch'', BWV 86.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Es ist das Heil uns kommen her, BWV 9」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
