JOHANN SEBASTIAN BACH (1685-1750)
BWV 51, Jauchzet Gott in allen Landen! (Leipzig, 1730)
No. 4 Chorale, "Sei lob und preis"
Sei Lob und Preis mit Ehren | Now laud and praise with honor |
Gott Vater, Sohn, Heiligem Geist! | God Father, Son, and Heavenly Ghost! |
Der woll in uns vermehren, | May he make increase in us |
Was er uns aus Gnaden verheißt, | What mercy he hath pledged us, |
Dass wir ihm fest vertrauen, | So that we firmly trust him, |
Gänzlich uns lass'n auf ihn, | Entirely turn to him, |
Von Herzen auf ihn bauen, | On him our hearts foundation, |
Dass uns'r Herz, Mut und Sinn | That our heart, mind and will |
Ihm festiglich anhangen; | Steadfast to him be cleaving; |
Drauf singen wir zur Stund: | To this we sing here now: |
Amen, wir werdn's erlangen, | Amen, we shall achieve it, |
Glaub'n wir aus Herzensgrund | This is our heart’s firm faith! |
BWV 196, Der Herr denket an uns (Leipzig, 1707)
No. 1, Sinfonia
BWV 76, Die Himmel erzählen die Ehre Gottes (Leipzig, 1723)
No. 8, Sinfonia
No. 1, Sinfonia
BWV 140, Wachet auf, ruft uns die stimme (Leipzig, 1731)
No. 2, Tenor Recitative, "Er kommt, er kommt"
Er kommt, er kommt, | He comes, he comes, |
Der Bräutgam kommt! | The bridegroom comes! |
Ihr Töchter Zions, kommt heraus, | O Zion's daughters, come ye forth, |
Sein Ausgang eilet aus der Höhe | His journey drops from the heavens |
In euer Mutter Haus. | Into your mother's house. |
Der Bräutgam kommt, der einem Rehe | The bridegroom comes, like a buck |
Und jungen Hirsche gleich | And youthful stag he looks, |
Auf denen Hügeln springt | Which on the hills doth leap; |
Und euch das Mahl der Hochzeit bringt. | To you the marriage meal he brings. |
Wacht auf, ermuntert euch! | Rise up, be lively now |
Den Bräutgam zu empfangen! | The bridegroom here to welcome! |
Dort, sehet, kommt er hergegangen. | There, look, thence he comes to meet you. |
No. 4, Chorale, "Wachet auf ruft uns die stimme"
Zion hört die Wächter singen, | Zion hears the watchmen singing, |
Das Herz tut ihr vor Freuden springen, | Her heart within for joy is dancing, |
Sie wachet und steht eilend auf. | She watches and makes haste to rise. |
Ihr Freund kommt vom Himmel prächtig, | Her friend comes from heaven glorious, |
Von Gnaden stark, von Wahrheit mächtig, | In mercy strong, in truth most mighty, |
Ihr Licht wird hell, ihr Stern geht auf. | Her light is bright, her star rises. |
Nun komm, du werte Kron, | Now come, thou precious crown, |
Herr Jesu, Gottes Sohn! | Lord Jesus, God's Son! |
Hosianna! | Hosannah pray! |
Wir folgen all | We follow all |
Zum Freudensaal | To the hall (place) of joy |
Und halten mit das Abendmahl. | And join therein the evening meal. |
BWV 202, Weichet nur, betrübte schatten (Weimar, 1714)
No. 8, Recitative, "So sei das band der keuschen liebe"
So sei das Band der keuschen Liebe, | So may the bond of chaste love, |
Verlobte Zwei, | Beloved couple, |
Vom Unbestand des Wechsels frei! | Free you from all that change can bring! |
Kein jäher Fall | No sudden happenstance |
Noch Donnerknall | Nor thunderclap |
Erschrecke die verliebten Triebe! | Frighten that devoted passion! |
No. 9, Aria (Gavotte), "Sehen in Zufriedenheit"
Sehet in Zufriedenheit | Witness in contented bliss (joy) |
Tausend helle Wohlfahrtstage, | Thousand radiant days of well-being, |
Dass bald bei der Folgezeit | That soon in the time to come |
Eure Liebe Blumen trage! | Your love will flower! |
