Nach dir, Herr, verlanget mich (BWV 150) (part 1 of 2)
A Moment of Bach - A podcast by Alex & Christian Guebert - Mondays
Categories:
Grab a score (or open the link) and follow along with us in an exploration of Bach's first known cantata. This straightforward psalm setting keeps us on our toes as it changes with almost every line of text, including the sublime and ancient sound of the "Leite mich" (lead me) chorus moment. Why doesn't Bach follow the rules of harmonic progression here? In this first episode of two, we will explore the first four parts of the cantata. This brilliant work of a very young Bach has a host of all-star moments within.
