The work in two movements draws its text from the Book of Isaiah and a hymn by Paul Gerhardt. Scholars disagree about the composition time and place which was traditionally believed to be 1726 in Leipzig, while more recent scholarship suggests for stylistic reasons that it was already composed during Bach's Weimar period. == History == Bach composed the work for a funeral.〔 His motets were written in the tradition of the ''Evangelienmotetten'' (motets on gospel text) of the 17th century by composers such as Melchior Franck, Melchior Vulpius and Heinrich Schütz. When he composed his motets, works without contemporary poetry and without an independent orchestra, the genre was already out of fashion.〔 However, there was evidently a demand for such works at funerals, a ceremony for which at least some of Bach's other motets were written. As the original score has not survived, the work can not be dated with certainty. Traditionally, scholars believed that Bach composed ''ドイツ語:Fürchte dich nicht'' for a funeral in Leipzig in 1726.〔 Stylistic comparison with other works such as ドイツ語:''Ich lasse dich nicht'', BWV Anh. 159, suggests that Bach wrote it already in his Weimar period (1708–1717).〔 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「Fürchte dich nicht, BWV 228」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
