J.S. Bach: Ich freue mich in dir, BWV 133 - The Church Cantatas, Vol. 176

The six-movement chorale Cantata 133 ‘Ich freue mich in dir’ was written for the 3rd day of Christmas in 1724. It is symmetrically constructed, with a choral movement at the beginning and end, and four movements in between consisting of aria-recitative and aria-recitative. Despite the festive occasion the instrumentation is relatively sober, comprising four soloists, four-part choir, two oboes d’amore, cornett, strings and basso continuo. The fact that singers and players were already under great pressure on the first two days of Christmas probably played a role. This may also explain the cornett part, which simply reinforces the sopranos in the opening and final choruses, giving extra colour to the chorale tune ‘Ich freue mich in dir’.
