Johann Heinrich Rolle was born in 1716 in Quedlinburg. In 1752 he was appointed music director of the city of Magedburg. The cantata Siehe Finsternis bedeckt das Erdreich und Dunkel der Völker was written for the feast of Christmas. We do not know the year of its first performance. The libretto is by Johann Samuel Patzke. The cantata comprises six movements, framed by an extended and festively-orchestrated opening chorus and a simple four-part chorale movement. The first movement, with its unusual harmonies and contrasting tempi, is very distinctive.

Ein Band, der unbedingt in das „irgendwann mal aufführen!”-Regalfach gehört,eine Gelegenheit wird sich finden.

Musik & Kirche, 9/10/2016

Wer einmal Bach oder Saint-Saens am Weihnachtsfest in der Schublade lassen möchte, könnte mit der vorliegenden 25-minüten Kantate eine Alternative aufführen, die sich auch in einen Gottesdienst integrieren lässt.
Kirchenmusik im Bistum Limburg, 1/2016

Zum Streichorchester treten zwei Flöten, zwei Oboen, zwei Trompeten, zwei Hörner und Pauken dazu. Das Werk ist von versierten Kirchenchören gut zu bewältigen.
Kirchenmusik im Erzbistum Bamberg 12/215
