He composed the chorale cantata in Leipzig for the 17th Sunday after Trinity and first performed it on 1 October 1724. Bach created the work as part of his second annual cantata cycle when he was ''Thomaskantor'' (director of music) in Leipzig. That cycle was planned as a cycle of chorale cantatas for all occasions of the liturgical year. ''ドイツ語:Ach, lieben Christen, seid getrost'' is based on a hymn of penitence by Johannes Gigas (1561). An unknown poet kept three stanzas in their original form, which Bach set as an opening chorale fantasia, a central fourth movement with the soprano accompanied only by the continuo, and a four-part closing chorale as movement 7. The poet reworded the other stanzas as arias and recitatives, including references to the prescribed gospel about the healing of a man with dropsy. Bach scored the cantata for four vocal parts, a horn to reinforce the chorale tune, a transverse flute, 2 oboes, strings and continuo. == History and words == Bach composed the cantata in his second year as ''Thomaskantor'' (director of music) in Leipzig for the Seventeenth Sunday after Trinity.〔 That year, Bach composed a cycle of chorale cantatas, begun on the first Sunday after Trinity of 1724.〔 The prescribed readings for the Sunday were from the Epistle to the Ephesians, the admonition to keep the unity of the Spirit (), and from the Gospel of Luke, healing a man with dropsy on the Sabbath ().〔 The cantata is based on a song of penitence in six stanzas by Johannes Gigas (1561),〔 sung to the melody of "ドイツ語:Wo Gott der Herr nicht bei uns hält".〔 The hymn is only distantly related to the readings, concentrating on the thought that the Christians sin and deserve punishment,〔 but may be raised to joy in a "ドイツ語:seliger Tod" (blessed death). An unknown poet kept the first, third and sixth stanza as movements 1, 4 and 7 of the cantata.〔 He derived movements 2 and 3, aria and recitative, from stanza 2, movement 5, another aria, from stanza 4, and the last recitative from stanza 5. In movement 3, he deviated from the song text, expanding in connection to the pospel that sin in general is comparable to the dropsy, "ドイツ語:diese Sündenwassersucht ist zum Verderben da und wird dir tödlich sein" (this sinful dropsy leads to destruction and will be fatal to you),〔 and alluding to Adam's fall, caused by self-exaltation in the forbidden quest to be like God, "ドイツ語:Der Hochmut aß vordem von der verbotnen Frucht, Gott gleich zu werden" (Pride first ate the forbidden fruit, to be like God).〔〔 Bach first performed the cantata on 1 October 1724,〔 only two days after the first performance of his chorale cantata ドイツ語:''Herr Gott, dich loben alle wir'', BWV 130, on the feast of Michael, the archangel, 29 September 1724.〔 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「Ach, lieben Christen, seid getrost, BWV 114」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
