For this wedding cantata – recorded here for All of Bach with Sayuri Yamagata - Bach used the cantata he had written earlier: 'O! angenehme Melodei', BWV 210a. In five arias, Bach achieves maximum variety with regard to instrumentation and atmosphere. From the beautiful ‘beseelte Lieder’, we go via ‘matte Töne’ and ‘zarte Harmonie’ to the paradoxical third aria. Here, the flute is silenced in vain, as it goes its own way – more virtuoso than ever. This is followed by a stylised polonaise and a chorale-like closing aria.
