Ah, how fleeting, ah, how futile Cantata for 24th Sunday after Trinity by Johann Sebastian Bach 4-Part - Sheet Music

By Johann Sebastian Bach

Bach's cantata BWV 26 belongs to the Leipzig cycle of chorale cantatas, 1724/25, and it was first performed on 19 November 1724. The underlying 13-vers hymn by Michael Franck provided Bach and his unidentified librettist with an abundance of metaphors and comparisons which, from verse to verse and movement to movement, illustrate the fleeting and transitory nature of earthly life: an impressive musical-poetic exposition of potent baroque pictures of "vanity.". Score available separately - see item CA.3102600
