Johann Seb Bach - Der Gerechte kommt um

[hohnerbubb]

in bar 36 or at 2:02 the alto sings the notes B A C H and the text goes on with

"... und niemand achtet drauf" or in english "... and nobody cares about it".

Bach is the king !!!

Great observation! This piece is thought to be composed at a time (beginning of 1730s) where Bach was quite unhappy with the conditions in Leipzig, and felt neglected by the authorities. So one can understand why he made this quotation. Actually. he also quotes BACH in his motet 'Fürchte dich nicht', although transposed (G-F#-A-G#). The first basses sing this in bar 152-153, a few bars before the end.

Hard to believe this is Bach indeed

[berniewa2008]

instrumental parts are by J S Bach, but the choral nucleus is by the older master Kuhnau, from which art to compose J S Bach learned very much

Few only approach the Mountain yet THIS , what They find THERE , is for ALL to be taken.
