Cantate BWV 127 - Herr Jesu Christ, wahr'r Mensch und Gott

About this work

Herr Jesu Christ, wahr’r Mensch und Gott BWV 127 superimposes several layers of chorale reference in its opening chorus. The soprano holds the principal tune while instruments add their own signs within a carefully built texture.

A tenor recitative leads to a soprano aria with oboe. The bass then receives a dramatic scene combining recitative and aria, with trumpet at the judgement; the final chorale abruptly concentrates this breadth.

Map the opening movement’s layers before seeking expression. The soprano should breathe with the oboe. In the bass scene, connect tempo changes through the words and reserve the trumpet’s brilliance for its actual intervention.
