He composed it in Weimar for the fourth Sunday after Trinity and first performed it on 14 July 1715. Bach composed the cantata as concertmaster in Weimar, responsible for one church cantata per month. The text was written by the court poet Salomon Franck for the occasion and published in 1715. He included as the closing choral the first stanza of Johannes Agricola's hymn "ドイツ語:Ich ruf zu dir, Herr Jesus Christ". The cantata is structured in six movements begins with a duet, followed by a sequence of alternating arias and recitatives and closed by a four-part chorale. It is scored for a small ensemble of four vocal parts, oboe, strings and continuo. Bach led the first performance in the court chapel of Schloss Weimar on 14 July 1715. He performed the cantata again, with small instrumental revisions, at the beginning of his tenure as ドイツ語:Thomaskantor in Leipzig, coupled with the new cantata ドイツ語:''Ein ungefärbt Gemüte'', BWV 24. == History and words == 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 ''ドイツ語:Schlosskirche''〔 (palace church), on a monthly schedule.〔 He wrote this cantata for the Fourth Sunday after Trinity.〔 The prescribed readings for the Sunday were from the Epistle to the Romans, "For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God" (), and from the Sermon on the Mount in the Gospel of Luke: the injunctions to "be merciful", "judge not" (). The cantata text was written by the court poet Salomon Franck for the occasion and published in 1715 in ''ドイツ語:Evangelisches Andachts-Opffer''.〔 Franck stayed close to the theme of the gospel, recalling the injunctions and the parables of the mote and the beam and the blind leading the blind.〔 The last aria summarizes the admonitions as "ドイツ語:Das ist der Christen Kunst" (This is the Christians' art).〔 The cantata is closed by the first stanza of Johannes Agricola's hymn "ドイツ語:Ich ruf zu dir, Herr Jesus Christ" (1531).〔 Albert Schweitzer criticized the libretto as "bland, lesson-like".〔 Bach first performed the cantata on 14 July 1715. He dated it himself "1715".〔 When Bach performed the cantata again in Leipzig on 20 June 1723, he transposed it from F-sharp minor to G minor and made changes to the instrumentation.〔 In that service, his fourth in Leipzig, he performed it together with a new cantata ドイツ語:''Ein ungefärbt Gemüte'', BWV 24, after he had started his tenure as cantor with cantatas in two parts, ドイツ語:''Die Elenden sollen essen'', BWV 75, and ドイツ語:''Die Himmel erzählen die Ehre Gottes'', BWV 76.〔 He treated the same chorale in the chorale cantata ドイツ語:''Ich ruf zu dir, Herr Jesu Christ'', BWV 177, for the same occasion in 1724. Bach revived the cantata once more in 1746 or 1747.〔 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「Barmherziges Herze der ewigen Liebe, BWV 185」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
