J.S. Bach: Wer weiß, wie nahe mir mein Ende?, BWV 27 - The Church Cantatas, Vol. 147

In BWV27 (6 October 1726) the theme of death returns. The opening chorale, interspersed with recitative, is quite solemn, with its pendulumlike continuo, and an impressive long, pleading note on bet. After an interesting recitative (all's well that ends well) the alto sings a welcome to death. The text is illustrated impressively in many ways: `following' music at the word ‘folgen’, chromatic lines on ‘Plagen’ and ‘Tod’. A soprano recitative with a high note on Himmel and an upward surge on `fly away' leads to a vigorous bass aria with a vivid contrast between the quiet `good night' and the raging confusion of the world. Here the believer is not with one foot in his grave, but in heaven! The beautiful final chorale is unique in the cantatas. It is the only five-part chorale, and the only one not by Bach; Bach uses a setting by Johann Rosenmüller.
