Description:
In 1726 Johann Sebastian Bach performed a series of cantatas by his Meiningen cousin Johann Ludwig, then continued this series with his own works, but remained faithful to the textual models used his cousin: a Meiningen cycle of texts by an unknown author from the early 18th century. All these texts share the characteristic of including two quotations from the bible: one from the Old Testament at the beginning, and another from the New Testament in the middle. These cantatas include "Herr, deine Augen sehen nach dem Glauben" BWV 102. The opening chorus in several sections is one of Bachs masterpieces of choral composition. The cantata is also one of those works on which Bachs later reputation was based: performances are documented from 1776 in Hamburg and in Berlin by Zelters Sing-Akademie from 1813 onwards. In 1830 it was one of the very first cantatas by Bach to appear in print.
