| Johann Sebastian Bach | | My life is fulfilled | | Ich habe genug (II) | | Kantate zum Fest Mariae Reinigung | | | | Setting in E minor. A new edition of the version for solo soprano by Bach, which can hold a place alongside the version for bass solo. Bach originally composed the cantata for the Feast of Purification for a solo bass in the key of C minor (CV 31.082/00). Since its scoring for
only one solo voice made it easily adaptable for performances under different conditions, in the course of its compositional history it underwent many
changes. The present version in E minor for solo
soprano, which has been reconstructed, in part, by Ulrich Leisinger, enjoyed a great popularity among Bach’s family circle, as can be seen by copies of
movements 2 and 3 in Anna Magdalena’s “zweites Notenbüchlein.” Both movements – certainly sung by her – are included in the appendix of this edition. | | | Catalogue number: BWV 82 | | Year of composition: 1727 | | Solo S, Fl, 2 Vl, Va, Bc | | Language: German/English | | | | Key: E minor | | Duration: 23 min | | Text source: Dichter unbekannt | | | | | Composer: Johann Sebastian Bach | | Translator: Vernon Wicker | | |
