Cantate BWV 141 - Das ist je gewisslich wahr

About this work

Das ist je gewisslich wahr BWV 141 long circulated under Bach’s name, but the work is now attributed to Georg Philipp Telemann. Its BWV number records the history of classification, not the accepted composer.

The opening chorus is followed by a tenor aria, an alto recitative and a bass aria. The final chorale closes this five-movement cantata scored for voices, strings and continuo.

Approach the score on its own terms rather than forcing Bach’s manner onto it. Clarify entries in the chorus and use direct articulation in both arias. Keep the final chorale plain and clearly pronounced.
