The body of work comprising Bach’s Two Hundred Sacred Cantatas is inexhaustibly rich. Numerous arias traverse the gamut of vocal registers with equal conviction, from joy to the deepest pain. They may be accompanied by a simple basso continuo, the entire orchestra or often by one or two solo instruments which mirror the voice. A common symbolism of the time— though open to interpretation— dictates that the tenor, when not personifying the Evangelist in the Passions, lends his voice to the sinner who is at once overwhelmed by his faults and driven by hope. The arias on the program bear witness thus: “Have mercy on me!”, “The blood that erases my fault”, “I trust his grace” or “I want to dream of heaven”…
