Bach: Cantata BWV 54, "Widerstehe doch der Sünde" A Scholl

The title aria of the Cantata BWV 54
I also uploaded the following rezitativ & arie.

Widerstehe doch der Sünde,
Sonst ergreifet dich ihr Gift.

Laß dich nicht den Satan blenden;
Denn die Gottes Ehre schänden,
Trifft ein Fluch, der tödlich ist

Translation:

Pray resist sin,
lest its poison seize you.

Don't let Satan blind you;
for those who defile God's honor
will incur a curse that is deadly.

Please reproduce the accomp with the vocal part. Better yet get an orchestral score with modern voice parts and show us that! The performance is a good one, though. Thanks, but we are truly interested in all the parts, not just the voice. I hope that if you did the aria, with its three part fugue, that you did'nt just show us the alto part.

@bruce122046 You may want to try to fit the vertical score here on a 640x480 frame. Free to try.

This music comes directly from heaven. Be not human if not touched by this.

My favourite recording of this music which is even special for Bach. One of his best cantatas.

I love this song and this voice!!!!

Some say Bach's music proves the existence of God. Yeah, because God is Bach.

Yeah, there are some weeeiiiirrrd deceptive cadences in this B section. The first phrase suggests C minor: i-iv-V-- to a D7 chord...! The next one leaps from a V to a I42 in G...gotta love it. What's the text? something about Satan..

This Bach creates a warm mood within me that no other music seems to, even Bach's & that's saying something. This really shows Bach the innovator. Bach's uniqueness. The greatest musical genius.

Re: Question, by "modern voice parts" I mean those transposed from C-clefs to G-clef. The BGA is public domain, but it is in the old clefs, the one's Bach used for vocal parts. It is hardest to read several at once, SATB in C-clefs, but practice, practice, practice.

@bruce122046 Im just curious... what do you mean by modern voice parts?
