Bach's own score - Ich glaube, lieber Herr (Collegium Vocale Gent)

Johann Sebastian Bach (1685 - 1750):
ICH GLAUBE, LIEBER HERR, HILF MEINEM UNGLAUBEN (BWV 109) ~
I believe, dear Lord, help my unbelief

1. movement: Chorus

Johann Sebastian Bach composed this church cantata in Leipzig for the 21st Sunday after Trinity and first performed it on 17 October 1723.

The cantata in six movements is scored for alto and tenor soloists, a four-part choir, and a Baroque instrumental ensemble of cor du chasse (corno da caccia or corno da tirarsi), two oboes, two violins, viola, and basso continuo. In the opening chorus, the "cor du chasse" plays mostly colla parte with the first violin (in movement 6, it plays the cantus firmus with the soprano).

The opening chorus shows many elements of a concerto grosso. In the instrumental ritornello, oboe 1 and violin 1 form the concertino. The vocal parts appear sometimes as a solo or duet, expressing belief in an upward theme derived from the ritornello theme, with doubt expressed in a downward line.

Ich glaube, lieber Herr, hilf meinem Unglauben!.

(Markus 9, 24)

I have faith, O dear Lord, help my unbelieving!.

(Mk. 9/24)
