O where shall I now go Cantata for the 19th Sunday after Trinity by Johann Sebastian Bach 4-Part - Sheet Music

By Johann Sebastian Bach

Bach composed the chorale cantata Wo soll ich fliehen hin (O where shall I now go), BWV 5, for the 19th Sunday after Trinity in 1724. This work belongs to the 2nd Leipzig year-cycle of chorale cantatas. The opening movement features an instrumental ritornello whose theme is derived from the chorale melody. In addition, there is a notable "scampering" motive of three sixteenth notes followed by a staccato eighth note. The first aria presents a riddle: The tenor is joined by an unfortunately unrecorded obbligato instrument marked with long slurs and many broken chords, but whose identity remains mysterious: Viola? Violoncello piccolo? In the following recitative, the alto voice is joined by the chorale melody played on the oboe. This leads to a bass aria with virtuoso solo trumpet: "Verstumme, Höllenheer, du machst mich nicht verzagt!" (Be silent, hosts of hell!). After a secco recitative, the cantata concludes with a simple chorale movement.
