Bach composed the cantata in Leipzig for the second day of Pentecost and first performed it on 6 June 1729. == History and words == Bach wrote the cantata in Leipzig for Pentecost Monday.〔 The prescribed readings for the feast day were from the Acts of the Apostles, the sermon of Peter for Cornelius (), and from the Gospel of John, "God loved the world so much ..." from the meeting of Jesus and Nicodemus (). The cantata text was written by Picander and published in his collection of cantata texts for a year in 1728. Picander had written in the preface that he hoped "the lack of poetic elegance would be compensated for by the sweetness of the incomparable ドイツ語:Kapellmeister Bach, and that these songs will be sung ドイツ語:Lieder in the main churches of devout Leipzig." Nine of Bach's cantatas on his texts in that volume are extant. If Bach composed more, they are lost.〔 In the first aria the poet considers the beginning of the gospel, "ドイツ語:Also hat Gott die Welt geliebt ..." (For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life), and concludes that the Christian owes love to God in return for God's love. The gospel word is quoted and reflected in the following recitative. The last aria addresses the congregation to seize the salvation offered by God's love.〔 The closing chorale is the first stanza of Martin Schalling's hymn "ドイツ語:Herzlich lieb hab ich dich, o Herr", expressing love for God.〔 For the opening ''Sinfonia'', Bach added parts to a movement from his Brandenburg Concerto No. 3. He could employ many players as he had started to direct a ''ドイツ語:Collegium Musicum'', a ''ドイツ語:Bürgervereinigung'' (an association of musically inclined burghers) who played his church music as well.〔〔 Bach first performed the cantata on 6 June 1729; he noted the year in the score.〔 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「Ich liebe den Höchsten von ganzem Gemüte, BWV 174」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
