Description:

Ein feste Burg ist unser Gott BWV 80 (Carus 31.080/00) is one of Johann Sebastian Bach's most frequently performed cantatas. However, the well-known form with the large opening chorale represents the end of a multi-stage compositional history, which began with the cantata Alles, was von Gott geboren BWV 80a, probably composed for the Sunday of Oculi in 1716. However, as no cantatas were performed in Leipzig during Passiontide, Bach had to rewrite the cantata for another Sunday or feast day if he wanted to continue using it. The feast of the Reformation was an obvious choice, as Bach had also used the hymn Ein feste Burg ist unser Gott in the Oculi cantata (as the instrumental cantus firmus in the opening movement and in the final chorale). Via the first version of the Reformation cantata Ein feste Burg ist unser Gott BWV 80b (Carus 31.080/50), which was only expanded to include chorale movements, the movements of the Oculi cantata were then also incorporated, slightly modified, into the form of the cantata known today as BWV 80.

Only the text of the Oculi cantata Alles, was von Gott geboren BWV 80a survives today. However, the early version of the cantata can be easily deduced from the two later versions. This reconstruction by the renowned Bach scholar Klaus Hofmann is a welcome addition to the generally very small collection of Bach cantatas for Passion Sundays.
