Johann Sebastian Bach My faithful shepherd is the Lord

Cantata for the Sunday of Misericordias Domini BWV 112, 1731

Read and write feedback
Die Kantate "Der Herr ist mein Hirte" stammt aus dem Jahr 1731 und war offenbar als Ergänzung zum Choralkantatenjahrgang bestimmt, den Bach Ostern 1725 unvollendet abbrach. Bach hat die fünfstrophige Dichtung unverändert übernommen. Das Hauptgewicht liegt auf dem Eingangschor, in dem der Choral in langen Notenwerten zeilenweise vom Sopran vorgetragen wird, wobei die übrigen Vokalstimmen den Satz imitatorisch auflockern.

  • Versus I (Coro)

    My faithful shepherd is the Lord,
    keeps me in his protection;
    abundant care he does afford,
    he grants me his provision.
    He lets me lie in pastures green,
    such loving care was never seen;
    his word is my salvation.

    Versus II (Aria, Alto)

    To quiet waters I am led,
    where he my heart refreshes;
    it is the Spirit of my God,
    who here restores and strengthens.
    He leads me in the righteous way,
    in his commandments I will stay
    and glorify his name forever.

    Versus III (Recitativo, Basso)

    And when I walk through the valley dark,
    I fear no death nor evil,
    persecution, suff’ring, sorrow in this dark world of trouble;

    ...

  • Versus I (Coro)

    Der Herr ist mein getreuer Hirt,
    hält mich in seiner Hute,
    darin mir gar nichts mangeln wird
    irgend an einem Gute,
    er weidet mich ohn Unterlass,
    darauf wächst das wohlschmeckend Gras
    seines heilsamen Wortes.

    Versus II (Aria, Alto)

    Zum reinen Wasser er mich weist,
    das mich erquicken tue.
    Das ist sein fronheiliger Geist,
    der macht mich wohlgemute.
    Er führet mich auf rechter Straß
    seiner Geboten ohn Ablass
    von wegen seines Namens willen.

    Versus III (Recitativo, Basso)

    Und ob ich wandert im finstern Tal,
    fürcht ich kein Ungelücke
    in Verfolgung, Leiden, Trübsal

  • Johann Sebastian Bach is one of the most important composers of Western music history. He came from a widely ramified musical dynasty, which produced numerous musicians and organists in the Thuringian-Saxon area.

A complete edition of all the full scores is also available in a high quality box set. Personal details
  • Paul Horn war ein deutscher Kirchenmusiker, Organist, Komponist und Musikwissenschaftler. Er studierte Kirchenmusik und Orgel an der Evangelischen Kirchenmusikschule Esslingen am Neckar bei Hans-Arnold Metzger und Musikwissenschaft, Theologie und Geschichte an der Universität Tübingen. Seine berufliche Laufbahn begann als Kantor an der Evangelischen Michaelskirche in Stuttgart-Degerloch. 1954 wurde er Kantor an der Evangelischen Stadtkirche Ravensburg, eine Position, die er bis zu seiner Pensionierung innehatte. Als Musikwissenschaftler arbeitete Horn bis ins hohe Alter eng mit Carus zusammen. So stammen zahlreiche Carus-Klavierauszüge aus seiner Feder. Personal details
