Johann Bach - Sey nun wieder zufrieden

[odsu169]

Sorry but Johann S. Bach died in 1750 and was born in 1685.

That's right, but this motet is not by Johann Sebastian. It is attributed to Johann Bach, who was a brother of Sebastian's grandfather.

@stigekalder

yes, sorry, I thought - because of not reading properly - about the cantata BWV 21 "Ich hatte viel Bekümmernis". The motet is part of it.

You are right that the following text (Psalm 116,7) appears in both works:

"Sei nun wieder zufrieden, meine Seele, denn der Herr tut dir Guts."

Best wishes, Niels

I was a member of the Collegium Vocale at that time, back in 1982. Singing under Philippe Herreweghe was a joy I will never forget!

@jos1verpoorten Ik ken deze CD sinds eind de jaren 80, prachtig, jullie zijn fantastisch. Prachtig.

It must certainly have been a great time !

I've just heard Collegium Vocale perform the B minor mass in London,

which of course was a great experience.

The 'great' Peter (Kooij) was also there. Was recorded by BBC.

Best wishes, Niels
