The cantata O Ewigkeit, o Donnerwort (Eternity, thou thundrous word), BWV 20, for the 1st Sunday after Trinity in 1724, marks the beginning of Bach’s second annual Leipzig cycle, an epoch-making series of works that are generally considered the artistic pinnacle of Protestant cantata-writing. The launch of a new cycle is underscored by the bipartite form and considerable length of the 11-movement cantata. The piece begins with great pomp: The opening chorus in three sections takes the form of a French overture (with chorale chorus). This extended opening chorus with its wealth of text to be mastered is followed by a varied sequence of comparatively short movements, including several highlights of Bach’s œuvre – a musical cornucopia of ideas!
