He composed the work in Leipzig for the Feast of Saint Michael and first performed it on 29 September 1728 or 1729. It is his third and last of his extant cantatas for the feast. The topic is derived from the prescribed readings for the Sunday from the Book of Revelation, Michael fighting the dragon. The libretto was written by Picander and published in a 1728/29 volume of cantata texts. He included as the first movement two verses from Psalm 118 and as the closing chorale the third stanza of Martin Schalling's hymn "ドイツ語:Herzlich lieb hab ich dich, o Herr". The text focuses on the guardian angels, which the chorale mentions specifically for the situation of death. Bach structured the work in seven movements and scored it festively with four vocal parts and a Baroque orchestra of three trumpets, timpani, three oboes, bassoon, strings and continuo. He derived the opening chorus from his ''Hunting Cantata'', composed already in 1713. == History and text == Bach composed the cantata in Leipzig for the feast of St. Michael (Michaelmas); it is his third and last of his extant cantatas for the feast, a feast celebrating the archangel and all angels.〔 The prescribed readings for that Sunday were from the Book of Revelation, Michael fighting the dragon (), and from the Gospel of Matthew, heaven belongs to the children and the angels see the face of God (). St. Michael, the archangel, has a prominent position in Lutheranism, as in Judaism.〔 John Eliot Gardiner, who conducted all of Bach's church cantatas in 2000 on the Bach Cantata Pilgrimage, notes that the Sanctus, composed for Christmas 1724 in close relation to the text by Isaiah, and much later integrated to Bach's Mass in B minor, shows the relevance of angels for Bach's Lutheranism.〔 The libretto was written by Christian Friedrich Henrici, better known as Picander, Bach began to work with him in 1725, and they collaborated notably on the major ''St Matthew Passion''. Picander wrote his cantata texts, including this one, with Bach as the composer in mind.〔 The poet included as the first movement two verses from a psalm () and as the closing chorale the third stanza of Martin Schalling's hymn "ドイツ語:Herzlich lieb hab ich dich, o Herr". The Bach scholar Klaus Hofmann notes that battle scenes were often depicted in art and music. In the opening lines taken from a psalm, the battle of Michael against Satan is already won.〔 Satan is mentioned only in the first movement. A focus of the later sequence of alternating arias and recitatives is on guardian angels seen as "holy watchmen".〔 The libretto was published in the 1728/29 year of his collection ''ドイツ語:Ernstschertzhaffte und satyrische Gedichte / Cantaten auf die Sonn- und Fest-Tage''. They appeared in quarterly volumes to help the congregation following the text.〔 Bach led the Thomanerchor in the first performance of the cantata in Leipzig on 29 September, either in 1728 or 1729.〔 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「Man singet mit Freuden vom Sieg, BWV 149」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
