Through bitter tribulation we enter into God's kingdom
Cantata for the Sunday Jubilate BWV 146, 1728?
It is evident from the sources that the cantata was written for the 3rd Sunday after Easter. The text, the identity of whose author is unknown, is based on the comparison between sadness and joy prescribed in the Gospel for that Sunday. This cantata has survived only in copies made after 1750, but undoubtedly the cantata dates from Bachs's years in Leipzig.

wicked Sodom, thou and I
must henceforth be parted.
Here would I no longer stay;
peace for me is far away
far from thee forever.Ah! now would I to heaven go!
How hateful to me this wicked world.
At morn I rise in tears,
and lay me down at ev’ning weeping,
oppress’d by base deceit and fears!
Lord! Harken if thou wilt.
Abhorred am I, though free from guilt,
the wickedness of man
would shame and even slay me;...

Wir müssen durch viel Trübsal in das Reich Gottes eingehen.
3 Aria (Alto)Ich will nach dem Himmel zu,
4 Recitativo (Soprano)
schnödes Sodom, ich und du
sind nunmehr geschieden.
Meines Bleibens ist nicht hier,
denn ich lebe doch bei dir
nimmermehr in Frieden.Ach! wer doch schon im Himmel wär,
wie dränget mich nicht die böse Welt.
Mit Weinen steh ich auf,
mit Weinen leg ich mich zu Bette,
wie trüglich wird mir nachgestellt!
Herr! merke, schaue drauf,
sie hassen mich, und ohne Schuld,
als wenn die Welt die Macht,
mich gar zu töten hätte;...

Frequent questions about this work
Which situation is the transposed organ part intended for?
Bach planned this cantata with concertante organ for the organs in the main Leipzig churches. These were tuned a whole tone higher (c. a1=466 Hz, ‘Chorton’ [choir/organ pitch] than strings and woodwinds (a1=415 Hz, ‘Kammerton’ [chamber pitch]). In order to allow for this difference, the organ part was notated a whole tone lower (in C minor instead of D minor). Today, many Baroque organs are still tuned to a higher pitch. In order to enable performances to take place in such churches, we offer the transposed organ part in C minor (31.146/47). Especially in a cantata with obbligato organ, the use of a historical organ is appropriate. For all other performance situations where there is no difference in pitch, there is a normal, untransposed organ part in D minor (31.146/49).
