Description:
The coffee cantata "Schweigt stille, plaudert nicht" and the peasant cantata " Mer hahn en neue Oberkeet " - both based on texts by Picander - are among Johann Sebastian Bach's best-known and most frequently performed secular cantatas.
The "Peasant Cantata", written in 1742, is Bach's latest datable cantata and is a popular and cheerful painting with musical means. The occasion for the composition was a tribute to Picander's superior Carl Heinrich von Dieskau, who had inherited the family's estates in 1742.
The cantata demonstrates Bach's mastery through both its formal structure and musical realization of an unusual subject matter. It is presented here on the basis of the "New Bach Edition" in a single edition with a clear and easy-to-play piano reduction by Andreas Köhs.
