Netherlands Bach Society | Bach - Chorale O Herzensangst, o Bangigkeit und Zagen! BWV 400 | Netherlands Bach Society @bach | Uploaded 1 year ago | Updated 4 hours ago
On hearing this chorale, the experienced listener might be a little confused. Because what time signature is it written in? And where does the first bar begin anyway? On a first hearing, it could just as easily be either four-four time with an upbeat or three-four time. After Bach’s death, his son Carl Philipp Emanuel included this chorale in a collection of 371 chorales. The majority of them are well-known Lutheran church melodies, but this one is an exception. The melody is not familiar to us from anything else, so it was probably composed by Bach himself.
Recorded for the project All of Bach on 11 May 2021 at Walloon Church, Amsterdam. If you want to help us complete All of Bach, please subscribe to our channel http://bit.ly/2vhCeFB and consider donating http://bit.ly/2uZuMj5.
