The cantata
Daran erkennen wir, dass
wir in Ihm bleiben is
intended for the first
Whitsun holiday. It is
based on a text by Johann
Christoph Wentzel
(1659-1723), the yearly
volume in which it
appears dates to August
4, 1703 and is dedicated
to, among others, Hn.
Joh. Kuhnau / | Chori
Musici bey der | Stadt
Leipzig Directori [Herr
Joh. Kuhnau / Director of
Choral Music at the City
of Leipzig]. It can be
assumed that Kuhnau's
composition originated
near the time of the
text, thus within his
first years in office as
the Leipzig St. Thomas
cantor. Kuhnau follows
the structure of
Wentzel's poem in a
Dictum and four verses
with introductory sonata,
although some details are
varied. In comparison to
other works by Kuhnau,
the scoring is fairly
large with five vocal
parts, trumpets, timpani,
oboes, and bassoon as
well as two violins and
violas each. The short
performing time, on the
other hand, makes the
cantata suitable for
liturgical use, too.Audio
