J.S. Bach: Christ unser Herr zum Jordan kam, BWV 7 - The Church Cantatas, Vol. 141
The seven-movement chorale cantata BWV7 ‘Christ unser Herr zum Jordan kam’ was composed for the feast of John the Baptist on 24 June 1724. The text deals with the baptism of Jesus by John the Baptist in the waters of the river Jordan. Bach succeeded in symbolising in musical figures the Jordan, the water and the baptism. The broken triads in the bass part of the opening chorus, for instance, present an audio-visual image of the waves. The semiquavers in the concertato violin part conjure up the same picture. The striking continuo line in the bass aria (No.2) depicts the plunging baptism water.
Composer: Johann Sebastian Bach
Artists: Netherlands Bach Collegium, Pieter Jan Leusink (conductor), Holland Boys Choir, Bas Ramselaar (Basso), Nico van der Meel (Tenore) & Sytse Buwalda (Alto)
