J. S. Bach: BWV 179 "See to it that your fear of God is not hypocrisy"

Sobre este lugar

Hypocrisy and self-assuredness have permeated the history of politics and religion for thousands of years - Bach's cantata "See to it that your fear of God is not hypocrisy" BWV 179, developed along the lines of the parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector, serves as a timeless warning. Above and beyond many a zealous baroque figure of speech, the text and music embody the advice of wholesome humility and appropriate self-questioning. The fact that Bach later transformed the admonishing opening chorus into the Kyrie prayer of his Missa brevis in G major BWV 236 could not be more fitting.
