Netherlands Bach Society | Bach - Cantata Mein Gott, wie lang, ach lange BWV 155 - Sato | Netherlands Bach Society @bach | Uploaded 1 year ago | Updated 5 minutes ago
For cantata Mein Gott, wie lang, ach lange Bach used a cantata text by Salomo Franck (1659-1725), poet at the court of Weimar. Between 1714 and 1716 Bach set at least fifteen of Franck’s cantata texts to music. It turned out to be a good match. Franck’s metaphorical yet simple texts provided Bach with plenty of musical opportunities. Mein Gott, wie lang, ach lange is one of just two cantatas by Franck that opens with a recitative. Bach avoids a dry beginning by turning it into an expressive recitative with orchestral accompaniment, which conveys a feeling of incessant suffering. In the other movements, too, he keeps adding special touches to Franck’s tekst, for example by the colourful solo for bassoon in the duet ‘Du mußt glauben’, which was written for a talented bassoon player in the court ensemble.
