He showeth to thee, man, what right is Cantata for the 8th Sunday after Trinity by Johann Sebastian Bach ATB - Sheet Music

By Johann Sebastian Bach

Bach's cantata "Es ist dir gesagt, Mensch, was gut ist" (He showeth to thee, man, what right is) BWV 45 belongs to a group of cantatas from 1726, but the texts were drawn from a cantata cycle Bach had composed for Meiningen a good twenty years earlier. The work links the profound words from the liturgical calendar reading Matthew 7:15-23 and the Old Testament prophet Micah with Bach's unique musical language. Alongside the magnificent opening chorus and the alternating recitatives and arias, the Vox Christi (Voice of Christ) is heard in a long arioso at the beginning of the second part. The final chorale focusses on the questions of human action and the consequences of obedience or transgression.
