He composed it in Weimar for the Sunday Sexagesimae, the second Sunday before Lent, likely by 1713. == History and words == Bach worked for the court in Weimar from 1708. On 2 March 1714 Bach was appointed concertmaster of the Weimar court capelle of the co-reigning dukes Wilhelm Ernst and Ernst August of Saxe-Weimar. As concertmaster, he assumed the principal responsibility for composing new works, specifically cantatas for the ''Schlosskirche'' (palace church), on a monthly schedule.〔 Bach composed this cantata for the second Sunday before Ash Wednesday, called Sexagesima. The prescribed readings for the Sunday were taken from the Second Epistle to the Corinthians, "God's power is mighty in the weak" (), and from the Gospel of Luke, the parable of the Sower ().〔 The cantata is based on a text by Erdmann Neumeister written for the Eisenach court and published in Gotha in 1711 in the collection ''ドイツ語:Geistliches Singen und Spielen'' (Sacred singing and playing),〔 which had been set to music by Georg Philipp Telemann.〔 The text cites Isaiah in the second movement, "For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, … So shall my word be ..." (), related to the Gospel about God's word compared to seed.〔 In the third movement, the poet combines warnings of the dangers to God's word in the style of a sermon with four lines of prayer from a litany by Martin Luther. The closing chorale is the eighth stanza of Lazarus Spengler's hymn "Durch Adams Fall ist ganz verderbt" (1524).〔 〔 The cantata falls relatively early in Bach's chronology of cantata compositions. It was possibly composed for 24 February 1715, but more likely a year or two earlier.〔 Christoph Wolff states: "The original performing material has survived and allows us to date the work to 1713".〔 Bach performed the cantata again in Leipzig in 1724, with an expanded scoring in a different key.〔 It was then probably performed in the same service as the newly composed ドイツ語:''Leichtgesinnte Flattergeister'', BWV 181.〔 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「Gleichwie der Regen und Schnee vom Himmel fällt, BWV 18」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
