J.S. Bach: Lobe den Herrn, meine Seele, BWV 69 - The Church Cantatas, Vol. 75

Cantata BWV69 “Lobe den Herrn, meine Seele“ is a so-called Ratswechselkantate, written for the election of a new town council in Leipzig. Bach created a parody of an existing cantate, BWV69a, composing two new recitatives and a final chorale. The work opens with a recitative for soprano, followed by a wonderfully expressive alto aria, “Meine Seele, auf, erzähle“. The simple final chorale “Es danke, Gott, und lobe dich“ is given an extra dimension by the accents of the three trumpets and timpani and the dynamic development in the closing words of thanksgiving.
