Cantata for the 4th Sunday after Easter. Composed by Johann Sebastian Bach. Edited by Alfred Durr. This edition: urtext edition. Stapled. Barenreiter Urtext. Score. BWV 166. Baerenreiter Verlag #BA10166. Published by Baerenreiter Verlag (BA.BA10166).ISBN 9790006491339. 32.3 x 25.4 cm inches.
The cantata Wo gehest du hin?, which dates from the first year of Bach's appointment in Leipzig and was given for the first time on 7 May 1724, takes as its starting point a phrase from the gospel for the fourth Sunday after Easter (St. John xvi, 5-15). Bach's setting of this text is simple and concise. The scoring is light - apart from strings and continuo it calls only for an oboist and three vocal soloists and a chorus in the closing chorale.
