In
1726 Johann Sebastian
Bach performed a series
of cantatas by his
Meiningen cousin Johann
Ludwig, then continued
this series with his own
works, but remained
faithful to the textual
models used his cousin: a
Meiningen cycle of texts
by an unknown author from
the early 18th century.
All these texts share the
characteristic of
including two quotations
from the bible: one from
the Old Testament at the
beginning, and another
from the New Testament in
the middle. These
cantatas include Herr,
deine Augen sehen nach
dem Glauben BWV 102. The
opening chorus in several
sections is one of Bach's
masterpieces of choral
composition. The cantata
is also one of those
works on which Bach's
later reputation was
based: performances are
documented from 1776 in
Hamburg and in Berlin by
Zelter's Sing-Akademie
from 1813 onwards. In
1830 it was one of the
very first cantatas by
Bach to appear in print.
