NOTE ON CANTATA No. 146"Wir miissen durch viel Triibsal" was composed for SontagJubilate, or the third Sunday after Easter. Spitta dates the work

1740. Johannes Schreyer questions its authenticity, and suggeststhe hand of Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach. A copy of the score hasbeen found to be in the handwriting of one J. Hering, a pupil ofC. P. E. Bach.As to the identity of the librettist, no specific information isavailable. The second movement is based on Acts 14:22, and thesixth movement on Romans 8:18.The full score includes Soprano, Alto, Tenor, and Bass soli,four-part Chorus, Flute, two Oboes, two Oboi d'amore, Taille, Strings,and Organ. This cantata would seem to be one of several writtenat the time when the St. Thomas School was being renovated, anda small positive organ was moved into the church, where it was usedas an obbligato instrument for playing such solo parts as are foundin this and certain other cantatas.The Sinfonia is the first movement of the D minor Concerto forClavier and Orchestra, which also introduces Cantata No. 188. Herethe organ is indicated as the solo instrument.

The second movement is founded on the Adagio of the concertomentioned above. Three elements unite to form this remarkablechorus: a ground bass, a freely moving solo part, and an independentchorus superimposed. This unique device produces a work of con-summate artistry and craftsmanship.The two arias for Alto and Soprano are exceedingly colorful,and Bach's pictorialization adds immeasurably to the settings. Inthe first, he uses a violin in "soaring heaven-borne" arpeggios andrhythmic patterns, and, in the second, the sighing tones of flutesand oboes. The recitative that separates them is worthy of a placeamong those to be found in the larger works. The text is accom-panied by the most subtle harmonies, played, appropriately, by thestrings in the orchestra.The duet for Tenor and Bass might well be considered as round-ing out the Concerto in this cantata. A brighter aspect, introducedby the preceding Tenor recitative, appears in the change of key fromD minor to F major. The duet is a vigorous piece of music; and, likemany other of Bach's compositions, it has the strong rhythmicpatterns of the dance.The words that Bach intended for the final chorale are not givenin the manuscript or in the Bachgesellschaft edition. The tune(widely known from its use in Cantata 147) is by Johann Schop. Thepresent edition supplies the second stanza of Johann Rist's hymn"Werde munter, mein Gemiithe", with which the melody firstappeared.
