He composed it in Leipzig for the fourteenth Sunday after Trinity and first performed it on 22 September 1726. In his fourth year as Thomaskantor in Leipzig, Bach performed 18 cantatas composed by his relative Johann Ludwig Bach, a court musician in Meiningen. He then set some of the texts himself, including this cantata, written probably by Ernst Ludwig, Duke of Saxe-Meiningen. They follow a pattern: seven movements are divided in two parts, both beginning with biblical quotations, Part I from the Old Testament, Part II from the New Testament. The text is based on the prescribed gospel reading telling of Jesus cleansing ten lepers. It is opened by a verse from Psalm 50, quotes a key sentence from the gospel and is closed by a stanza from Johann Gramann's hymn "ドイツ語:Nun lob, mein Seel, den Herren". The cantata, structured in two parts to be performed before and after the sermon, is modestly scored for four vocal soloists and choir (SATB), and a Baroque orchestra of two oboes, strings and continuo. == History and words == Bach wrote the cantata in 1726, his fourth year in Leipzig, for the fourteenth Sunday after Trinity. The prescribed readings for the Sunday were from the Epistle to the Galatians, Paul's teaching on "works of the flesh" and "fruit of the Spirit" (), and from the Gospel of Luke, Cleansing ten lepers. ().〔 That year, Bach presented 18 cantatas by his relative Johann Ludwig Bach who was court musician in Meiningen. Bach seems to have been impressed also by the texts of those cantatas and follows similar structures: seven movements, divided in two parts to be performed before and after the sermon, both parts opened by Bible words, Part I by a quotation from the Old Testament, Part II by one from the New Testament.〔〔 Bach composes some texts that his relative set before, including this cantata, which was written by Ernst Ludwig, Duke of Saxe-Meiningen, according to Christoph Wolff. The cantata is regarded as part of Bach's third annual cycle.〔 The poet derived from the gospel idea that thanks to God for his goodness are man's obligation.〔 A profound scholar of the Bible, he quotes for the opening chorus a verse from Psalm 50 () and for the first recitative in Part II verses 15 and 16 from the gospel.〔 He alludes to the Bible several times, for example telling about God's creation by in movement 2 and in movement 3,〔 to in movement 6, "ドイツ語:Lieb, Fried, Gerechtigkeit und Freud in deinem Geist" (Love, peace, righteousness and joy in Your spirit).〔〔 The closing chorale is the third stanza of the hymn "ドイツ語:Nun lob, mein Seel, den Herren" (1525) by Johann Gramann (Poliander).〔 Bach first performed the cantata on 22 September 1726.〔 He later used the opening movement for the movement ''Cum sancto Spritu'' in the ''Gloria'' of his Missa in G major, BWV 236.〔 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「Wer Dank opfert, der preiset mich, BWV 17」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
