'I. Frosche wunschen sich einen Konig. Sie missverstehen die Warnung Jupiters vor diesem dummen Wunsch, darauf schickt er ihnen einen Kranich, der sie frisst. II. Fruher konnten die Krahen wunderschon singen. Doch als sie versuchen, das modische Gewiehere von Pferden nachzuahmen, verlieren sie diese Fahigkeit. III. Eine Schiffsgesellschaft gerat in einen Seesturm und fleht zu den Gottern um Hilfe. Nach dem schadlos uberstandenen Seegang lachen sie in der wiedergewonnenen Lebensfreude alle Autoritaten aus und feiern ein ausgelassenes Fest.' (Einfuhrungstext im Programmheft des Jugendmusikfestes Deutschlandsberg 1991) 'Dies sind drei Lehrstucke oder Schulopern, komponiert Anfang 1967 fur das Musikfest in Cincinnati, wo sie im Mai 1968 uraufgefuhrt wurden. Ich stelle mir vor, dass sie in Musikschulen, Opernstudios und Colleges aufgefuhrt werden konnen, konzertant oder szenisch. [...] Das erste Lehrstuck handelt von der Schwierigkeit, die Vorzuge anarchistischer Lebensweise zu erkennen, das zweite vom Modernismus und das dritte vom schnellen Vergessen einer Gesellschaft, die glaubt, noch einmal davongekommen zu sein. Jedes der drei Operchen ist in Nummern aufgeteilt, es sind Kurzformen, kleine Arien, Rezitative, Chorensembles.' (Hans Werner Henze)

Cantata BWV 127 belongs to the cycle of chorale cantatas which Bach performed in 1724/25 in Leipzig. It bears close links to the St John Passion, which was performed on Good Friday 1725 in its second version. In formal terms and in the interpretation of the text and its orchestration, it is one of the most astonishing vocal works by Bach. The opening chorus, with its multi-layered construction, is nothing less than a preliminary version for the chorale fantasia O Mensch bewein dein Sunde gross. The aria Die Seele ruht in Jesu Handen is distinguished by its exquisite scoring: a solo oboe and the soprano form a duet, whilst the background comprises delicate chords on recorders and continuo, intended to symbolize funeral bells. A solo trumpet gives the following movement particular brilliance. The words Ich breche mit starker und helfender Hand unmistakably anticipate the chorus Sind Blitze, sind Donner in Wolken verschwunden from the St Matthew Passion. New revised edition. Score and parts available separately - see item CA.3112700.
