These works both received their first performances in Leipzig - the Magnificat in 1723 and Cantata 82 in 1727. It was in 1723 that Bach had taken up thepost of Kantor at the Thomaskirche in Leipzig, having previously been Kapellmeisterto Prince Leopold in Cothen. The Magnificat was originally heard ina version in E flat major at Christmas Vespers when movements with seasonaltexts were inserted; the version included on this disc was rendered by Bach someyears later, returning to the ordinary Magnificat text in order to makethe work performable all year round. Bach's approach to the evening canticle ischaracteristically large-scale. There is no use of recitative, owing perhaps tothe poetic nature of the text: the verses have little natural hierarchy and itis appropriate that they should all be afforded extended settings. The scoringis unusually rich and includes three trumpets, two flutes, two oboes, strings,continuo, and timpani - one of the largest ensembles to be assembled at theThomaskirche in Bach's time. Bach takes a literal view of the text in which, forinstance, the full five-part choir is used to demonstrate Omnes generationes ("All generations") with soloists used for the more reflective movements. Ina typically Bachian gesture the opening material returns for Sicut erat inprincipio ("As it was in the beginning").
Cantata 82 (Ich habe genug) was written for the Feast of thePurification (2nd February) in 1727. In accordance with the principles ofPietism the text does not refer directly to a biblical event (in this case, thereaction of Simeon to the experience of seeing the infant Jesus in the temple),but obliquely, in paraphrase. It reflects upon approaching death, depicting aprogression from resignation to the end of earthly life in the first aria topositive joy at the prospect of eternal life in the last. The cantata form as weencounter it here is a cross between the German 18th-century church cantata andthe Italian cantata spirituale in that it contains a sequence of arias separatedby recitative, but was intended for church use. Part of Bach's work as Kantorinvolved the provision of a cantata every Sunday for performance at theHauptgottesdienst, or main service. Considering that his singers were culledfrom the local Thomasschule, it was imperative that the bulk of the music beleft to competent soloists, and in several of Bach's cantatas the chorus singsonly a chorale at the end. A few, such as Ich habe genug, are writtenentirely for one soloist. The three arias that form the bulk of this cantata areall superb examples of Bach's artistry. The outer movements share thetime-signature of 3/8, but could not be more different in character, the firsthighly reminiscent of Erbarme, dich from the St. Matthew Passion,the last a gigue whose eloquent melismas graphically illustrate the idea offinal release and joy. The middle movement, Schlummert ein, uses fallingphrases and subdominant inflexions to represent sleep.
