J.S. Bach: Ach, ich sehe, itzt, da ich zur Hochzeit gehe, BWV 162 - The Church Cantatas, Vol. 83

Precisely one week before Cantata 109 was heard in Leipzig, Bach performed Cantata 162 on the 20th Sunday after Trinity 1723. The work had been written at Weimar seven years earlier (25 October 1717). Here again, Bach added a horn to strengthen the chorale melody. The further instrumentation remains uncertain due to the fact that Bach’s score has been loSt There is an unusually large number of passages with only continuo accompaniment, without any particular obbligato instruments. The attractive solos for the four singers include a bass aria accompanied by the full orchestra, a soprano aria, and a duet for alto and tenor with only continuo accompaniment. The cantata ends with a simple four-part chorale.
