○ Introduction to the work
Three malt of grain, two fathoms of wood, six bundles of brushwood and, in addition, 85 florins - this is the salary that Johann Sebastian Bach negotiates with his ecclesiastical employer in Mühlhausen, Thuringia, in 1707. In April, Bach passed an audition on the organ in the then Free Imperial City, and on July 1, he begins his service at the Divi Blasii Church there. In the meantime, dramatic events took place in Mulhouse: At the end of May, the town was ravaged by a conflagration. Almost 250 residential buildings burned down in the process, causing rapid inflation. As a result, Bach is forced to pull up stakes after only one year and seek his fortune in Weimar. Even though his time in Mulhouse only lasted a year, it had a lasting effect on Bach's life. It was here that the 22-year-old married his first wife Maria Barbara, with whom he was to have seven children - including Wilhelm Friedemann and Carl Philipp Emanuel.
One of the works Bach composed in Mulhouse is the cantata "Aus der Tiefen rufe ich, Herr, zu dir" BWV 131. It is presumably to be understood as a funeral dirge in response to the great town fire - commissioned by Georg Christian Eilmar, then archdeacon at the church Beatae Mariae Virginis. The context in which the work was first performed remains obscure, but it is considered likely that it was a penitential service in memory of the victims of the flaming inferno.
The text of the cantata is based on some lines of the 130th Psalm, and in the arias two stanzas from the song "Herr Jesu Christ, du höchstes Gut" by Bartholomäus Ringwaldt (1532 - 1599) are added. The instrumentation is small, almost chamber music-like. Bach originally intended one violin and two violas, probably to clarify the textual content by a darker tone. However, he was practical enough to place the part of the first viola in such a way that it could easily be taken over by a violin. This is the form in which the work will be heard in our matinee.

"Soluble dans l'air", dirait Verlaine. Chaque phrase, vocale ou instrumentale, respire, dans un parfait équilibre entre les voix,, chacune parfaitement lisible, et une parfaite fusion.
Merci 😊
A beautiful, delicate performance. Bravi to all involved.
Thank you!
thank you from Buenos Aires. so beautiful blended voices and instruments
Thank you! Greetings from Cologne 😊
Beautiful! What a great lament. "Ich harre des Herrn, meine Seele harret, und ich hoffe auf sein Wort" portrays the anguish of belief against adversity, and Bach excellently translates it into a sublime, descending and simultaniously ascending piece for Chorus
Thank you very much! 🥰
Fantastisch! Het klopt helemaal, goede tempo, goede balans, prachtige zangers.
Wunderbar
Danke

What a beautiful group of people. Thank you for creating this moving and beautiful music experience.
Our pleasure!
We're happy that you like it 😊
Magnifique interprétation
Merci 😊
There are many significantly superb performances of this cantata on TH-cam ...
And this particular performance surely ranks near the very top of the list.
Plus this conductor seems to be almost communicating telepathically with the vocalists.
Thank you! 🤗
3:10 part is so agile and perfectly balanced of all SATB parts
We are glad that you like it. 😃
Spot on! Simply great.
Beautiful performance!
Thank you! 🥰
Something's not right with the acoustics. It constantly feels like the voices are being drowned out more than they should. I also feel like vocal details that usually pop are not popping as much in this performance even though the singers are all doing great jobs.
BACH était vraiment inspiré par DIEU
.. und der Oboist Marcel Ponseele (Koopman Einspielung) auch!
Excellent performance, Oboe too loud for my taste.
.. der Cellist ist auch viel! Besser (ich hör ja schon auf..)
It is Mühlhausen, you sound amateurish.
Koopman und vor allem Herr Mertens! Sind leider viel, viel besser!
Der Solo-Tenor macht seine Sache für meine Begriffe aber sehr gut. Seine Stimme passt wunderbar für seine Arie!
i dont like their German dialect,
German here: They sing in High-German without dialect. We sing classical music like that. High language plus a "rolling r"
If you don't like the German language ... sure, it is a matter of taste.
You are a troll?
Why would you waste your time trolling under a wonderful piece of classical music? If so, get a life
