The
text of Bach's cantata
Tue Rechnung! Donnerwort
was published in 1715,
that is during Bach's
Weimar period, in the
Evangelisches
Andachts-Opffer by
Salomon Frank. This
concisely-written but
powerful work was,
however, only composed
ten years later in
Leipzig, and was heard
for the first time on 29
July 1725, the 9th Sunday
after Trinity. Its main
dramatic-musical emphasis
lies clearly in the first
movement, a dark, almost
operatic movement for
baritone and string
orchestra in B minor. By
contrast, the ensuing
aria for tenor with
obbligato oboe
accompaniment is
distinctly more intimate,
and the duet between
soprano and alto - just
accompanied by continuo -
is more restrained in its
musical language and
expression than the first
movement. In between
there are two extended
recitatives, the first of
which leads into an
arioso. The breadth of
expression within the
cantata is striking, its
opening movement a
masterpiece of Bach's
dramatic writing. Score
