Bach - Cantata Gott, man lobet dich in der Stille BWV 120 - Van Veldhoven | Netherlands Bach Society


The only parts that Bach definitely wrote especially for 'Gott, man lobet dich in der Stille', performed by the Netherlands Bach Society for All of Bach, are the recitatives and the final chorale of the piece. Although the opening aria and the ensuing chorus for a large group of musicians to the words ‘Rejoice, you joyful voices’ correspond closely to the text, Bach initially did not compose them for these words. The latter and other remaining parts were borrowed from his earlier pieces.

Recorded for the project All of Bach on March 15th 2014 at St Martin's Church, Groningen
