Cantate BWV 028 - Gottlob! nun geht das Jahr zu Ende

About this work

Gottlob! nun geht das Jahr zu Ende begins not with a chorus but with a serenely moving soprano aria. The large ensemble then enters with Nun lob, mein Seel, den Herren, where the voices develop a fugue supported by a brighter orchestra. This sequence moves from personal gratitude to public affirmation.

A bass recitative returns to individual speech before a soprano-alto duet with closely associated lines. The alto recitative finally prepares the concluding chorale. The work therefore does not simply grow in scale; it alternates choral breadth with solo proximity while looking both at the year just passed and the year to come.

The opening aria needs a calm pulse that does not become slow. In the chorus, make the fugue subject audible in every section before assembling the orchestra. Rehearse the duet without accompaniment to unify vowels and cadences. Keep the final chorale moving with the same inner pulse as the opening.
