J.S. Bach: Unser Mund sei voll Lachens, BWV 110 - The Church Cantatas, Vol. 166

The seven-movement Cantata 110 ‘Unser Mund sei voll Lachens’ forms a strong contrast to the Trauer Ode BWV198. Instead of the dark key of B minor and subdued orchestration, we hear the radiant key of D major with three brilliant trumpets and timpani. The work was written for Christmas Day 1725, and begins with an appropriate text from the second verse of psalm 126, ‘Unser Mund sei voll Lachens’. For this opening chorus Bach drew on music from the first movement of his 4th Orchestral Suite in D major, BWV1069. The dotted, slow sections remained instrumental, but he added vocal lines to the fast 9/8 passages with expressive triplets at the word ‘Lachens’. The impressive scoring with three oboes, three trumpets, bassoon, strings and timpani lends extra force to this laughter and jubilation.
