Added by matthew-bennett, 23 Feb 2017 Lobe den Herren, der Alles so herr regieret is the second movement in the cantata Lobe den Herren, mächtigen König der Ehren. This cantata is based on a hymn by Joachim Neander published in 1680. The English translation of the hymn, Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, was published in 1863, and is still sung in many parishes today. This movement of the cantata was originally written for solo violin, a solo alto and a continuo accompaniment. The alto sings an embellished version of the hymn in 3/4 while the violin and continuo parts accompany in the time signature of 9/8. This movement was later adapted by Bach as part of his Schübler Chorales. In this arrangement, the continuo part has a figured bass. Ideally, this would be performed with solo violin, solo alto, viola da gamba (or cello) and a chamber organ playing the figured bass. However, the continuo part has been slightly modified to allow for no figured bass accompaniment. The alto soloist can also be substituted for a viola. I also have a continuo (unfigured) part written out, and available on request, for a viola if a basso continuo cannot be found.
