| Added by magataganm, 29 Mar 2014 Nun danket alle Gott (Now thank ye all our God), BWV 192, is a church cantata composed by Johann Sebastian Bach in Leipzig in 1730. BWV 192 is a chorale cantata. It was likely first performed in late 1730, but its exact date and occasion are unknown. It may have been written for a wedding. The original score is no longer extant. The tenor part was lost and was reconstructed by scholar Gunther Raphael. The cantata begins with a chorale fantasia. Unusually, the ritornello is followed not by the chorale melody, but by a four-part dialogue. The first chorale phrase appears in the soprano voice over imitative counterpoint in the lower voices and staccato chords in the accompaniment. The duet aria is introduced by a ritornello "with a double hiatus suggestive of modesty or diffidence". The movement is structurally like a da capo aria but lacks a contrasting middle section. The work ends with another chorale fantasia with a "rollicking gigue melody". It is in ritornello form, with the soprano carrying the chorale melody. As in the first movement, the lower voices sing imitative lines. Although originally scored for three vocal soloists (soprano, tenor, and bass), a four-part choir, three oboes, bassoon, two violins, viola, and basso continuo, I created this arrangement for Brass Quartet (Bb Trumpet, Flugelhorn, French Horn & F Tuba) and Strings (2 Violins, Viola & Cello).
