J.S. Bach: The Church Cantatas, Vol. 44: Jesus schläft, was soll ich hoffen, BWV 81

In Cantata 81 ‘Jesus schläft, was soll ich hoffen’ for the 4th Sunday after Trinity, 30 January 1724, the role of the choir is much more modest: the final, simple chorale ‘Unter deinen Schirmen’ is the only choral movement. The work is based on the well-known episode from St Matthew 8: 23-27 about Jesus sleeping on a boat, being woken by his fearful disciples, and calming the storm on the lake. The cantata opens with an alto aria in E minor, scored for the mild flute and violin as a sort of slumber song for Jesus. In the succeeding tenor recitative and aria the storm on the lake is more realistically protrayed in panicky melodic leaps in the vocal part and a restless violin part: ‘die schäumenden Wellen ... verdoppeln die Wut’.

Composer: Johann Sebastian Bach
Artists: Netherlands Bach Collegium, Pieter Jan Leusink (conductor), Holland Boys Choir, Sytse Buwalda (Alto), Knut Schoch (Tenore) & Bas Ramselaar (Basso)
