  • 1 Aria (Soprano)

    I am content with my good fortune,
    the gifts my loving Lord here chose.
    And should the full abundance fail me,
    I thank for small gifts that surround me;
    for I deserve not even those.

    2 Recitativo (Soprano)

    God has no obligation
    to show his care for me,
    his gifts prove love eternally.
    I cannot earn what God is giving,
    mere duty is all that I do.
    And when my deeds as good are here appearing,
    they still remain unworthy through and through.
    We all too often are impatient,
    much to the Lord’s distress,
    if God, our loving God, would sometimes give us less.
    Did he not give us all we need,
    our clothing and the food we eat,
    does he not lift to blessedness

    ...

  • 1 Aria (Soprano)

    Ich bin vergnügt mit meinem Glücke,
    das mir der liebe Gott beschert.
    Soll ich nicht reiche Fülle haben,
    so dank ich ihm vor (für) kleine Gaben
    und bin auch nicht derselben wert.

    2 Recitativo (Soprano)

    Gott ist mir ja nichts schuldig,
    und wenn er mir was gibt,
    so zeigt er mir, dass er mich liebt;
    ich kann mir nichts bei ihm verdienen,
    denn was ich tu, ist meine Pflicht.
    Ja! wenn mein Tun gleich noch so gut geschienen,
    so hab ich doch nichts Rechtes ausgericht‘.
    Doch ist der Mensch so ungeduldig,
    dass er sich oft betrübt,
    wenn ihm der liebe Gott nicht überflüssig gibt.
    Hat er uns nicht so lange Zeit
    umsonst ernähret und gekleidt
    und will uns einsten seliglich

Additional product information
  • 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.

    Bach vocal

    Ever since Carus-Verlag was founded in 1972, publishing the music of Johann Sebastian Bach has been a special focus for us. In the 2017 Reformation anniversary year we completed the Bach vocal project. Bach's complete sacred vocal works are now available in modern Urtext editions, together with performance material. 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
